Bahirya Oasis & The White Desert

The latest trip saw us head to Bahariya (White Desert) to see an oasis and spend the night camping out.


It was pretty quiet out there...
We drove for hours and this is the only thing we saw.
Crystal Mountain
One of the hot springs.


The White Desert.


With strange rock formations.







A famous rock formation: the chicken and mushroom.



The best sunset we have ever seen.

In camp

This guy was my favourite.

Another fine sunset.
