The White Desert of Egypt and Libyan Desert Oasis (III)
We finished the evening with a stroll through the oasis, in which we were able to see an operation which we often hear about but rarely see it (if not there at the right time): fertilization palm trees by the female flowers of palms males.
The next morning we leave for the desert. And before the White Desert, the Black Desert in which we stopped after a few miles drive away. These pinnacles (the photo is taken from the highest of them) are apparently of volcanic origin there.
The quartz mountain is an area which as its name implies, the rocks are made of quartz crystals (the natural arch is not very high).
Only a few miles away that we abandon the vehicles for a two-day hike in the White Desert (then we start it is almost noon, it is desirable to put cream !). The following photo was taken from the road, towards the east. Access to this area is highly regulated as the region which it belongs is the site of trafficking of all kinds towards Libya (whose border is remote, however several hundreds of kilometers). Our hike thereby segregate the portion of the White Desert west of the road.
