Oasis of Bahariya

The Oasis of Bahariya is a fertile desert region in Egypt's Western Desert, distinguished by its lush vegetation, hot springs, and historic sites. It has been inhabited since ancient times and served as a key stop along trade routes. Today, Bahariya is known for its mineral-rich hot springs, black and white volcanic hills, and the nearby Valley of the Golden Mummies, where well-preserved ancient tombs are found. The oasis provides a rare green respite in an otherwise arid landscape, attracting tourists and researchers interested in Egypt’s geology, archaeology, and natural beauty.
