  • 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.

    (I can't highlight pdf's) Ground-water development in the New Valley Project of  Egypt's Western Desert, like that in many other parts of the  world, has been troubled by serious corrosion of metal casings,  screens, pumps, pipes, and fittings.

    Solving agricultural problems
  • jverlenden on 17 Jun 14
     
    Fine, but how much agriculture is there in terms of feeding the country? Feeding the local citizenry is important. And it's somewhat important is there are plans to start urban/town centers. Otherwise, food would have to be shipped in, which it is to much of Egypt already.
  • serag_86 on 18 Jun 14
     
    This study is mainly concerned with providing a better agricultural atmosphere for the land area by means of using better techniques to avoid soil deterioration and better agriculture. I will see if I can get hold of more statistics about food and agricultural consumption.Thank you.

    (For some reason I can not highlight this) starts with a brief review on the status of  environmental and economic condition in Siwa oasis and its regional sphere. It then discusses the changes  that occurred during the  last 50  years trying to  identify the main factors affecting the balance  in the  environmental, social and economic system of the Oasis.

    Obviously of concern for any tourism or urban/town developments. The presence or absence of water affects almost everything.

    While this idea is a good one, at some point you'll have to decide whether it's going to be among the major recommendations you'll make aobut the region. Maybe just noting it in the status report is enough.

    Using a typological value enables similarities among assets to be extracted. [*] Monetary poverty does not accurately reflect the well-being of herders. [*] The reduction in livestock is not linked to monetary poverty. [*] Livestock is mainly an economic safety net in the case of drought.
