The third-largest sand accumulation in the world (a sand dune the size of England) spans more than 600 kilometers forming a natural barrier between Libya and Egypt.

4WD madness in the sand! Big dunes, fossil beds, sand boarding, sunset fire and tea! Also a hot springs stop. Good times! You might get a little car sick so be prepared. Our tour ended at a hot spring for dinner near town. Only thing is it’s always a dudefest so ladies, bring something modest because, Egypt.

Covered in lush palm trees with a secluded freshwater pool in its center, this island is a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing.

It is a truly magical place to watch the sunset. Just some practical tips: 1. Cycling there is more fun, but if you opt for a tuk-tuk (which can be shares between 4-5 people), expect to pay LE50 for return. 2. Try the date milkshake (LE30), but remember to ask them not to put any sugar as the date is very sweet already! 3. Don't leave too soon after the sunset. Wait a little longer until you see the most amazing colours of the sky. (On the day we were there, sunset time was 5:37pm, but at around 5:50, you saw these!)

I wasn’t sure of waking up so early to catch the sunrise view at top of the shali fortress , but as soon as i reached there I knew how much i’ll regret if i’ve been there , I’ve seen the most beautiful view that i cannot forget until now , its so hard nowadays to catch up the sunrise view with a lake and old buildings and desert all around it was perfect

Temple of Amun has a really unique story u have to do ur searches about before u get there to touch the beauty of it , The greatest Alexander was there to the pharoas religions men and they declared that Alexander is a pharoah god and greek god ( not accurte storyteller but at least the story is around this thing ) anyway i’ve viewed the old rocks which more than 4000 years ago and i’ve been allowed to get a nice view from the upper top

Although there's no proof that Cleopatra actually bathed here, this spring-fed pool is very popular.
