Rock Mushroom, Natural rock formation in New Valley Governorate, Egypt
The Rock Mushroom formation displays a balanced structure with a wide upper section supported by a narrower base in the Egyptian desert.
The formation developed through millennia of wind erosion, which carved the limestone rock into its current shape during different geological periods.
Local inhabitants of New Valley Governorate include the rock formation in their traditional stories about the desert landscape and natural monuments.
Visitors need to arrange transportation with four-wheel drive vehicles and bring sufficient water supplies, as the location lacks infrastructure.
The rock structure presents different visual aspects throughout the day as sunlight changes angles across its weather-worn surface.
