I have posted before about the White Desert of Egypt. Not too far from that, near the Bahariya Oasis, you can find the contrasting Black Desert of Egypt with its glorious black topped golden mountains popping out of nowhere. The area owes this appearance to ancient volcanoes and the presence of abundant iron ore. I climbed to the top of one of these charcoal peaks to get this incredible view. Doesn't it look like it belongs to another planet?

That is an awesome view!
Thank you! And not another soul around.
Looks like a cool place to take it all in! Thanks for the inspiring photo!
Wow this is something else.
It really changed my perception of desert. Before this, I thought the desert was always supposed to be golden, sandy dunes.
Such a surreal landscape. Amazing shot.
Thank you! It is a surreal place indeed to witness.
That is truly beautiful! Wonderful entry.
