I discovered a magical place in Egypt: the White Desert! Never thought that such a place like this existed in this world! The snow-white desert is actually made of chalk that has been exposed for years to what geologists call "differential weathering," the erosion of soft particles that results in eerie protrusions of hard rock. These mushrooms shaped rock formations are ten to fifteen feet tall. And I found other shapes such as a rabbit, a sphynx, faces and much more! 75 million years ago, sea used to cover this place so we can also find fossils of shells. But this place has been engraved into my heart not only because of its natural beauty but thanks to the wonderful and very professional guide MOHAMED KOTABY with whom I went with! As a Bedouin, he knows every inch of the desert, its origin and history since it is his home. But more than that, he transmits you his love, passion and understanding of this place. I've heard the sound of silence and I felt an inner peace as never before. This journey was an initiatory one. I found a spiritual connection which allowed my to meditate over several issues and problems and I came back feeling 10 years younger. Mohamed made me feel so comfortable and at ease even if we were alone. I slept one night in this amazing desert and as a female, with some worries about traveling alone in the company of a man in an country such as Egypt, I've always felt protected. He prepares a Bedouin camp and cooks wonderfully (traditional Bedouin food). We travelled with a four-wheel drive but we can also do it my camel. Of course, in this case it will take longer. I only regret my short stay and that's why I will come back next year but this time to spend more time in this breathtaking place and, of course, with my exceptional and favorite guide, Mohamed Kotaby whom I thank so much from the bottom of my heart.

Musee de la Barque Solaire

Reviewed By VoyceyV - Knutsford, United Kingdom

This small museum in the shadow of the great pyramid harks back to a time when the Egyptian government invested heavily in tourism and even though this place now looks worse for wear it is still worth every LE you pay to get in. The building itself is a modernist interpretation of the hull of the Pharaohs solar boat. A long, curving, hull-like pod rising from the rocks at the great pyramid's base, it has a retro-modernist cross section which resembles the retro-futurist spacecraft. Within it is a marvel, a full length Nile pleasure boat of a few thousand years vintage in almost perfect condition. Long and curved like the crescent moon, with a re-curve bow and stern it will take you a minute or two to walk its length and marvel at yet another incredible achievement of this great civilisation. Best viewed over the three stories the platforms provide, this small diversion form colossal stonework is worth every coin and irritation to see.

Imhotep Museum

Reviewed By Faysordinarylife - Emirate of Ajman, United Arab Emirates

It a very neat and well organised museum. There is almost no crowd so everything can be seen in peace. They kept a mummy too and the sight of it gave us goosebumps. The outer area and washrooms are neat and clean.
