The White Desert National Park, was established as a protected area in 2002, just 45 km north of the town of Farafra. A part of the park is situated within the Farafra Oasis in the New Valley Governorate. Its landscape boasts large chalk rock formations, shaped over time by the relentless forces of wind and sand erosion. This otherworldly terrain also hosts cliffs at the northern end of the Farafra Depression, along with expansive sand dunes that belong to the Great Sand Sea. Additionally, the park is adorned with the beauty of Wadi Hennis and oases at Ain El Maqfi and Ain El Wadi.
Reaching a peak of 353 meters above sea level at El Qess Abu Said, the park also dips to its lowest point at Wadi Hennis, which is 32 meters above sea level. Serving as a sanctuary for various endangered and vulnerable species, including the Rhim gazelle, Dorcas gazelle, and Barbary sheep, the White Desert National Park plays a crucial role in preserving Egypt's natural biodiversity.
