4. White Desert National Park – Farafra Depression

This otherworldly spot may look like a shot out of a made up illustration, but is in fact very much real and just as mesmerizing in reality. The white formations you see are simply rock formed by wind erosions, and are color changing depending on the time of day you’re visiting! The colors vary and at times the formations can appear almost translucent or glass like, a sight for sore eyes.

3. Colored Canyon – Nuweiba Sinai Peninsula

800 meters of mesmerizing hues and mountains make this one of the most sought out hiking spots in the region. 

The Red Sea’s tides have beautifully formed these magenta hued rocks over the years on top of the lime and sand stone mountains, to give us this wondrous sight that people flock to all year round.

2. Siwa Oasis – Siwa

It’s all in the name! This heavenly oasis will literally have you floating in serenity.

Siwa’s hot and cold springs are not only spiritually therapeutic but actually have healing properties. Siwa’s salt lakes, help heal certain skin diseases and even sinus issues due to their high salt content. The lakes also have no marine life as a result of the high salt concentration, so you can float without fretting what is beneath you in the water.

1. Gebel Elba National Park – 250 km from Marsa Allam
