Kharga Oasis, Desert oasis in Western Desert, Egypt
The Kharga depression extends across 160 kilometers with abundant underground water sources supporting agriculture and settlements throughout the region.
The Romans constructed defensive strongholds along the Darb el Arbain route to safeguard trade activities between Middle Egypt and Sudan.
The Temple of Hibis contains preserved hieroglyphic inscriptions and architectural elements representing ancient Egyptian religious practices and construction methods.
Regular bus services connect Kharga Oasis with other western oases and major Egyptian cities through established transportation networks.
The oasis maintains a chain of mud-brick fortresses from different time periods, with many structures retaining their original architectural features.
