He did not choose to drive Ayman highway that would allow us to follow the same road you just know.

Scattered throughout the surrounding mountains coated with a black stone, spoon the ball absolutely no animal or plant. Just a black eye ache around. The car will go on working on the desert, leaving behind a stream of dust and smoke blind.

Soil and rocks, stones and gravel ... I kept asking Ayman has yet to deserts or white but he still smiled shook his head to where the new tomorrow. Max's first trip, we camped alone in the beach gravel and stone like that.

Stone giant white mushrooms and chicken chips - one of the symbols of nature conservation areas on the white desert
Between heaven and earth immense
New Day. Ayman take us through areas like the terrain on the moon. Immense stone, but also the whole learned a lot. The Land Cruiser came up through the stones fall down rough edges, many phen we thought: "Life goes only so much the tires," it may be located between the desert sun all stone chang chang this drawer. "
But for travelers who drive may have memorized every rock, every hill of sand. Finally, after several redirects, we also break out of the whole region to have learned that to return to the highway leading to the white desert.
Ayman driving spiraling, the two sides is undulating mountains full of different shapes. Leaving the highway, the car turned onto a branch road. Take a deep again as the limestone rock mass with many unique shapes and variety.
Then the white desert out well ahead. Under ideal sunny afternoon earlier thought hands magic that has spread snow up there. Desert and snow - a utopian paradox. The white limestone rocks were formed during the process of water and wind erosion over millions of years different spring snow.
Stories in this direction, like birds, but the other direction like a rabbit; platform is a giant white mushrooms, beneath the chicken is being played or leisurely camel kneeling for people to climb? Untold thousands of stone slabs like the beautiful condition and had to go see pineapple probably take all week. While Ayman find a place to camp and prepare dinner, we wandered around the corner. Specifically, I want to walk to wherever it leads nowhere as nice as well, where do also want to ...
The more the number of dimensions jeep every time a large flock. White desert landscape on perhaps the most fanciful into the sunset. The stones of all shapes colors changed from time to time. Maybe light up a light pink, red, sometimes purple color a bit last month. After the sun sight, light subtle mix of sunshine and light barely off the silver moon as the new landscape even more dazzling.

Sunrise over the white desert

Dark, full moon tonight or illusory longer than the night before. Between the quiet space, sometimes voice and drum music of a certain indigenous group. We join the couple and an Italian American, a Japanese family with four members plus a son-in-law the Dutch have a particularly fun evening. All of them do not know each other from before, except for driving off the indigenous people, but also the fun lasts until the morning 2g. Moonlit silver, white night in the desert so mysterious, one can imagine all sorts while floating with yeast.
Egypt and the Sahara desert, two names that any travel lover wanted to be arriving and we had to. Those memories will probably forever by our lifetime.
Dawn attractive styles. The scene laid out in the desert sun garden is a colorful tents, many places have come close together dozens of tent floor. Besides tourists, many people probably drive Cairo moon welcomed here, they can have a drum group last night. Those who watch the sunrise walk out the warm blanket to enjoy the fresh air, welcoming a new day with new plans and hope they soon come true.
White desert is very beautiful! But it is overloaded.
Leaving the White Desert, so little regret remains: how to keep forever the dream of paradise like this?
Hang on do not know how many jeep flying around the stone other magic? Do not know the beauty of the desert innocent white persist much longer with tourists every day a winter? Wandering around the desert, we are short thousands of wheel marks in the sand. Capture images up very nice, but it also marks the violation of other white smooth stone slabs. The soft limestone rock will take how long?
