    What to see in Egypt

    Sahara desert

    Tourist attractions Sahara desert

    The Sahara Desert, the largest and hottest desert in the world, spans over 9 million square kilometers across countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, and Libya. Its landscapes are stunning, featuring dunes that can reach up to 180 meters in height, rocky formations, oases, and vast arid plains. Highlights include the Siwa Oasis in Egypt, the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi in Morocco, and the rock paintings of the Tassili n'Ajjer massif in Algeria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Interestingly, the Sahara was not always a desert; around 10,000 years ago, it was a green region with rivers and lakes that supported wildlife and human settlements. Today, beyond its cultural and historical significance, the desert offers unique experiences such as 4x4 safaris, camel treks, and nights under an unparalleled starry sky, making it a dream destination for adventurous travelers.
