*White Desert in Farafra White Desert is located 45km north of Farafra and named White desert thanks to the white to cream colored rock formations in the shape of giant mushrooms or pebbles. It is a 300m protectorate where people enjoy safaris and camping in the midst of desert.

Formed by centuries of erosion and sandstorms these unique calcium rock formations crop up across the landscape like great abstract statues. Some that resemble food have been given names such as: “mushroom” and “ice cream cone” while others have inspired more grandiose designations like the ''Monolith” and “Inselberg''.
