Western Desert Oases
From Cairo it is possible to experience Egypt's finest
journey on offer, the Great Desert Circuit. It runs for over 621
miles (1,000km) through spectacular desert landscape and is
punctuated by four oases situated in a depression: Bahariya,
Farafra, Dakhla and Kharga. The first two have hot springs and palm
groves, Farafra being the more traditional and rural of the two. To
experience the remoteness of the desert travellers can spend an
unforgettable night in the White Desert between oases. Dakhla and
Kharga are surrounded by old ruins and villages from the times of
the ancient caravan routes to Sudan.
