Reaching out on either side of the lush [[Nile]] are the harsh arid {{Wiki|Western Desert (Egypt)|Western Desert}} and the mountainous {{Wiki|Eastern Desert}}. They cover nearly 94% of Egypt.

Each of these parent deserts have their own microclimate, and contain several smaller deserts with a distinct fauna and flora.

[[Whale]] fossils were discovered within the depths of the {{Wiki|Sahara}}. Known as the {{Wiki|Wadi El Hitan|Valley of the Whales}}, this location is evidence of the seas which once covered the area.

|-|White Desert=
The [[White Desert]] in the northeast of the Sahara owes its name to its limestone soil contrasting with the yellow sand.

The wind has eroded the rocks of the White Desert into stone mushrooms, the most famous of which is referred to as the Finger of God.

|-|Oceans of Sand=

The [[Great Sand Sea]] is a large unbroken desert that reaches out through western Egypt and eastern [[Libya]].

It is home to a unique geological formation known as Libyan [[silica]] glass. The pale yellowish-green material ranges from pebble-sized fragments to glass rocks the size of rough boulders.
