In the Agabat Valley, you can also admire the spectacular rock formations that have been sculpted by the wind over the centuries. The highlight of the tour will be a visit to the White Desert National Park, Egypt's most famous desert destination.

This national park is known for its spectacular landscape of limestone rock formations, carved by wind and sand over millions of years. The white desert is home to a variety of wildlife such as foxes, jackals, rodents and birds.
