The White Desert National Park, Sunset, Bahariya Oasis, Egypt
A main geographic attraction of Farafra is its White Desert (known as Sahara el Beyda, with the word sahara meaning a desert). The White Desert of Egypt is located 45 km (30 miles) north of Farafra. The desert has a white, cream color and has massive chalk rock formations that have been created as a result of occasional sandstorms in the area. The Farafra desert is a typical place visited by some schools in Egypt, as a location for camping trips.

Crystal Mountain, Bahariya Oasis, Egypt
In the way between El-Bahariya and El-Farafra, in the governorate of New Valley, in the Western Desert, stands the Crystal Mountain. It is not really a mountain, but rather a rock where crystal lumps are breaking like flowers.
