In pictures: Learn about the amazing White Desert in Egypt

ArabiaWeather.com - It is not a rare snow in the desert, but rather these scenes belong to the wondrous White Desert in the western parts of Egypt.

This desert, located more than 500 kilometers southwest of Cairo, contains huge chalky rocks of various shapes resulting from erosion and wind erosion over long periods of time, which led to the scattering of white crumbs over large areas of it to give it this distinctive white color. .

And geological studies indicate that the huge chalk shapes were once one large-scale stone plateau, before the wind destroyed them little by little.

The area is now considered a nature reserve and a place for tourist trips.
