The Egyptian Western Desert includes areas which
differ considerably one from the other. Rock desert,
flat plateau, fertile depressions, chains of dunes,
and down at the "triple" point between Egypt,
Libya and Sudan, large mountains create different
types of desert landscape each with its own inhabitants.
The only area where life is virtually absent is
the so-called Great Sand Sea, the largest and
most dangerous dune field of the world, able to
swallow and cancel anything which crosses its
path.
