description: Egypt’s two Western Desert oases of Bahariya and Farafra offer visitors some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in the country―lush walled gardens of olives and palms fed by hot water springs, narrow, twisting alleys between mud-plastered houses in the old villages, and the extraordinary natural rock sculptures of the White Desert. The photographs in this book capture the amazing visual variety of the region, while the text describes the way of life there.
