Abstract monoliths coated in all shapes and sizes. For a moment I felt like I had been transported to film the movie “Star Wars in September All I need now is my son’s light saber and you could tell me Luke Skywalker. The landscape of rocks scattered like gold in the midday sun, rays bouncing hard twisted structures. Eager to get a bird’s-eye view of the mystical White Desert of Egypt, we left behind us and go 4X4 Off to one of the largest stones passed. Not to mention the wind and temperatures was destroyed somewhere in the middle ’40s, the effort is intense, but worth the prospect attractive. The plaster sculptures that rise majestically from the sand formed by the desert winds have been fierce – a gallery ‘ art, courtesy of the natural world is. If you look closely, the gnarled shapes have a certain quality “realistic about them – as if faces were carefully carved into the rock of a human hand. When the sun began to desert landscape rich, bring into the field in a traditional Bedouin tent, usually in two sections by a woven curtain known as split ma’nad were invited.

Pleasant as it was, I decided to roll up one of my three mattresses and spend the night added to a ledge under the stars. I was anxious to enjoy the full experience, from dusk until dawn. The sun has gone toward casting light shades of purple and pink on the rock solid cast, strange shadows in the moonlight on the rugged terrain and rocks me into a peaceful sleep. Arid desert and leave the white in stark contrast to the bustling streets of Cairo and its treasures of the area.

Something of a celebrity in Egypt, the rest know little Badr a self-taught artist who has exhibited in Europe and Cairo. We were in the house museum and Badr, the desert is surrounded by a colorful garden will soon be cluttered with his brilliant work of fine art invited. Each of the pieces ranging from donkeys to the old lines and upscale merchants on camels, do a tour of his imagination. Our new girlfriend hosted for an hour or two while we were sitting with eyes wide open, looking at zero sandstone. Within minutes you could see his vision of reorganizing to do.
