Egypt The Black Desert

The Black Desert in Egypt features dramatic landscapes of black volcanic hills and rocky formations, contrasting with the surrounding golden sands. It offers unique photography opportunities with its stark textures and striking contrasts. Golden hour light enhances the drama of the black rocks, while the vast emptiness is perfect for minimalist and abstract shots. The desert’s surreal, otherworldly atmosphere makes it a must-visit for photographers seeking something truly unique.

The best spot to photograph the black desert, with all the volcanoes in the area. you can shoot 360° over the whole area with different possible compositions. Ideal to shoot at sunset with a medium telephoto lens (24-70 mm).

To reach the spot, you need to do a short 10-minute trek to reach the top of the volcano, following the existing path. To access it, you need a 4x4.
