About 4 to 5 hours drive from Cairo is the location for the
Black Desert in Egypt. Situated close the the White desert, it is a region most
popular with tourist looking to escape the usual sites in Egypt for an
adventure
The
Black Desert , is a region of volcano-shaped and widely spaced mounds,
distributed along about 30 km in western Egypt between the White Desert in the
south and the Bahariya Oasis in the north. Most of its mounds are capped by
basalt sills, giving them the characteristic black color.
The mounds of the Black Desert,
up to 100 m high, vary in size, composition, height, and shape as some are dark
consisting of iron quartzite while others are more reddish as its surface rocks
consist of iron sandstone. On the outskirts of the Black Desert are volcanic
hills proving the eruption of dark volcanic dolerite, dating back to the
Jurassic period 180 million years ago
The Black Desert” is located south of the Farafra Oasis in
the Western Sahara. This name stems from the fact that there is a layer of
black powder covering its mountains, highlands, and sand. This powder covers
the summits of some mountains and highlands making them look like they are
wearing hats to show off their ways of accessorizing. On the other hand, other
mountains and highlands are fully covered in this powder, draping down its
sides, as if they are wearing black velvet robes.
The Black Desert is characterized by its isolated hills which
constitute one of the most important features of a landscape distinguishing
“El-Wahat El-Bahariya Depression” from other desert depressions. The hills are
scattered like an archipelago of islands forming what is now known as the
“Black Desert.” Moreover, the hills vary in size, composition, height, and
shape as some are dark in color consisting of dolerite, and iron quartzite
while others are more reddish in color as its surface rocks consist of iron sandstone.
A few of the desert’s hills are composed of white limestone.
