Dakhla Oasis, Egypt
Green stripes between sand dunes is the official face of the Dakhla oasis, which is the most attractive of the oases in the Western Desert. Its "capital" is considered to be the small town of Mut, although not very picturesque and friendly. But that doesn't stop it from being defined as welcoming and offering its visitors nice hotels and a decent restaurant, as well as considering Mut Talata's hot sulfur pool as a landmark.
Although not the capital, the medieval city of Al-Qasr is much more interesting. Its streets are outlined by ring walls and form a very interesting pattern. Some areas of the city in the Dakhla Desert have existed since the 10th century. The city also has its own mosque, dating from the 12th century. Specific are the gates with acacia wood beams with a carved name of the owner of the house, date and verse from the Koran.
The next point of the Dakhla oasis are the Muzawaka tombs from Pharaonic times. They consist of three tombs, and in the third are placed four mummies.
Heading west, the road leads to Deir El-Hagar, a restored temple from the time of the Roman emperor Nero. In the direction of the Kharga oasis are the small villages of Balat and El-Bashandi with the beautiful old centers, but doomed to lack of basic conditions, which is missing determines their fate to be abandoned.
