KRAJE

Black Desert has been formed by the erosion of the mountains

We took a 2-day tour from Bawiti and went to the top of this hill

The view from the top was amazing

Looking to the North, we could see the road that brought us there

Next stop - Crystal Mountain. People look for crystals in the sand

Scenery was changing fast, but taking an organized tour means little time to stop and contemplate

The road goes down to the White Desert

Our driver. He didn't talk much

Just after sunset we arrived in the most amazing part of the White Desert, quite far from the main road

This is the place where all the tours stop and take photos

Strange shapes here are the work of wind and sand

The area was littered with black iron pyrites

Before going to sleep, we sat around the fire for warmth

Our camp in the morning. We slept under the stars, millions of them! It was quite cold, no more than 5C

Simple breakfast, including tea, bread and what the Egyptians call fuul

Early morning view with long shadows

If I had a whole day here, I wouldn't be bored at all

These chalky rock formations remind me of waves in the sea of sand

Another photo from the amazing White Desert

We stopped here for photos on the way back

Our Toyota broke down a few times and we had time to walk around
