White Desert From Luxor - White Desert to Cairo

The White Desert is a surreal and stunning natural wonder located in Egypt, about 850 kilometers from Luxor. It's part of the White Desert Reserve, which was declared a protected area in 2002. The desert gets its name from the large formations of white chalk that have been eroded over millions of years by wind and sand, creating otherworldly rock sculptures that resemble giant mushrooms , flowers, and even gigantic tents. Luxor is a major city in southern Egypt that's famous for its ancient temples and tombs. It's a popular starting point for tours to the White Desert, but due to the distance, it's recommended to set aside a few days for this trip. There are no public transportation options to get directly from Luxor to the White Desert, so joining a tour is the most convenient way to go.
