Dakhla Oasis, Desert oasis in Western Desert, Egypt
The 80-kilometer-long depression contains more than 500 thermal springs spreading across cultivated fields and small settlements connected by desert roads.
Archaeological findings from the 6th Dynasty reveal clay tablets with hieratic inscriptions discovered in the governor's palace at Ayn Asil in Balat.
The residents maintain traditional agricultural methods passed through generations, cultivating date palms and protecting crops from encroaching desert sands.
Winter months from October to March provide moderate temperatures for exploring the ancient ruins, thermal springs, and medieval Islamic fortress.
The stone temple of Deir el-Hagar, constructed during Emperor Nero's reign, stands isolated at the western edge displaying Roman and Egyptian architectural elements.
