The Valley of Agabat in the White Desert, Egypt.

            The Valley of Agabat is deep within the white desert.

I had to be there to feel the out-worldly beauty of the place. Millions of years ago, the place used to be under the sea. Over the years, unique rock formations of limestone, chalk (and maybe sand) have developed. When I stood atop the small rock cliff in one of the valleys and the valley with the rock formation unfolded before me, and there was not a single trace of another living being in entire neighborhood, I found a unique moment of peace and contentment. 

Don't miss it!
