Bahariya Oasis
Bahariya Oasis is the lowest point in Egypt; it is surrounded by black hills made up of ferruginous quartzite and dolerite. Most of the villages and cultivated land can be viewed from the top of the 50-metre-high Jebel al-Mi'ysrah (Shown on bottom photo), together with the massive dunes which threaten to engulf some of the older settlements. Wildlife is plentiful, especially birds such as Whiatears; crops (which only cover a small percentage of the total area) include dates, olives, apricots, rice and corn.
Bawiti is the largest village in the oasis; its picturesque hillside quarter overlooks lush palm groves irrigated by the Ain al-Beshmo, a natural spring hewn from the rock in Roman times which gushes water at 30 C The neighbouring village of al-Qast was built on the remains of a 26th dynasty temple-nearby, at Qarat Hilwah, you can still see tombs with paintings dating from the same period. Famous for its mineral and sulphur springs, including Bir Mathar and Bir al-Ghaba, Bahariya is also Known amongst local Bedouin for informal music and poetry recitals.
