  • Baharia oasis Located 365 km south west of Giza and 200 km from Farafra Oasis,the Oases are famous for their palm trees, olives, apricots, rice and corn. Intertwined trees provide attractive scenery with contrast to massive sand dunes.
  • The oases are famous for their 398 mineral and sulphur springs
  • AL Kharga Located 600 km from Cairo, 200km West of AL-Dakhla , AL Kharga used to be the last but one stop on the Forty Days Road, the infamous slave-trade route between North Africa and the tropical south.

  • is the biggest New Valley oasis. Outside the main  centre is the Temple of Hibis, built on the site of  Saite, Persian and Ptolemaic settlement.
  • One of the few Persian monuments in Egypt, the 6th century B.C. temple is well-preserved with painted vultures and huge reliefs of Darius greeting Egyptian gods on the outer walls.
  • AL Dakhla Runs from different periods, it is located 200km west of Al Kharga. Dominated on its northern horizon by a wall  of rose-coloured rock,fertile cultivated areas are dotted between sand dunes along the roads from Farafra and  Kharga in this area of outstanding natural beauty. The  capital, Mut,its name is attributed to Mut the consort of  god Amon.
  • Farafra Located between Baharia and Dakhla Oases, 32o km North West of Dakhla. Known as Ta-iht or the Land of the Cow in Pharaonic times,it is an isolated village, of which the oldest part lies on a hillside, next to peaceful palm groves; a short ride away, there are hot sulphur springs at Bir Setta and EL-Mufid Lake where you can swim. The oasis houses Qasr AL-Farafra and Qasr Abu Minqar which are ruins of Roman buildings.
  • The White Desert A trip to the White Desert is something that no visitor to the New Valley should miss. Travellers coming From Bahariya will cross through the Black Desert, passing the tiny oasis of El Heez on the way. Nearby, there are some Roman ruins, including a church with Coptic graffiti. Bahariya and Farafra are separated by huge golden sand dunes which make a stunning photograph during the journey.
  • Siwa Siwa is one of the most fascinating oases on the edge of the Great Sand Sea. Its rich history includes that visit of Alexander the Great to Amun Prophecy Temple in order to predict the prophecy of Amun in 331 BC. Siwans have their own culture and customs, and they speak a Berber language, Siwi, rather than Arabic.

    Again, you've got a number of areas of concern. Make minerals one of them, but then decide early on whether it's a major player in your area (which it probably is). Try to identify the minerals with the most commercial value. That will help you make recommendations.
