The White Desert白沙漠

The White Desert is about 500 km southwest of Cairo， Egypt. It comes in white and just looks like ice-cream. The rocks there are in different funny shapes. Some are like mushrooms and some are like people or animals.

The white sand can reflect the light. When the sun comes out in the morning or goes down in the evening， its light makes everything in the desert pink and orange. The desert looks best on a full moon night， shining in blue.

When traveling in the White Desert， you may see the Bedouin people cook food in the sand， the African foxes look for food.

The White Desert is full of wonders. Would you like to put it on your travel list？

白沙漠位于埃及开罗西南方约500千米处。它是白色的，看起来就像冰激凌。那里的岩石形状各异，很有趣。有些像蘑菇，有些像人，有些像动物。

白色的沙子能反射光线。当太阳在早晨升起或在傍晚落下时，阳光使沙漠中的一切变成粉红色和橙色。在满月的夜晚，沙漠闪烁着蓝色的光芒，看起来最漂亮。

在白沙漠旅行时，你可能会看到贝都因人在沙子里做饭，非洲狐在觅食。

白沙漠充满了奇妙。你想把它列入你的旅行清单吗？
