Great Sand Sea

The great sand sea is the name given to the area of the eastern Sahara located in western Egypt and eastern Libya. By far, most of this desert is covered by sand dunes from which the name derives.
The 1st picture is a dune typical of most of the area. But there is more than just sand here, albeit in relatively smaller proportions. The 2nd picture overlooks an obviously popular hot spring. The 3rd picture is another small spring: this one cold fresh water.
The 4th picture looks at some of the rock that gets exposed. It is mostly limestone and can have a almost moonscape appearance.
The 5th picture is another interesting landform.
And, of course, no set of desert pictures would be complete unless there was a desert sunset.Read more
