It seems like you’re mentioning two different deserts: the White Desert and the Black Desert, both of which are located in Egypt, specifically in the Western Desert. Additionally, you’ve mentioned Bahariya, which is an oasis town in the same region.
The White Desert is famous for its unique chalk rock formations, which have been shaped by wind erosion over thousands of years, giving them a surreal, otherworldly appearance. The stark white color of these formations contrasts sharply with the surrounding desert landscape, hence the name.
The Black Desert, on the other hand, is known for its dark volcanic rocks and sand dunes, which create a striking contrast to the white landscape of the nearby White Desert. The black color comes from the basalt rock formations and volcanic activity that occurred in the area millions of years ago.
Bahariya Oasis is one of several oases in the Western Desert of Egypt and is known for its lush palm groves, hot springs, and archaeological sites. It has been inhabited since ancient times and was an important stop on trade routes crossing the desert.
