Gebel Maghrafa  mountain

Gebel Maghrafa mountain While its history goes far back as far as Pharaonic times, this oasis at Bahariyya, consisting of eight villages 360 km southwest of Cairo, was hardly known until the end of the 20th Century.

The main attractions were the temple built for Alexander the Great during his lifetime, the 400 hot and cold mineral and sulphur springs, and the peaceful pastoral oasis setting.

Then, in 1996, a sensation was caused by the chance discovery of an archaeological treasure when a donkey fell through the roof of a burial chamber on the border between the twin settlements of El- Bawiti and El-Qasr.

It was subsequently discovered that this was part of a Ptolemaic-Roman necropolis, in which thousands of intricately, Anabolic Steroids and Hair Loss: Is one month okay? — Donovan Hair Clinic legal steroids for sale anabolic aliens asian videos individually decorated mummies were stored.

While the excavation site is not open to the public, some mummies are exhibited in El-Bawiti.

Other local attractions include the old British fortifications on the Jebel Al-Ingleez, the Jebel Maghrafa, where a gigantic dinosaur skeleton was discovered, and the rock formations of the Black Desert. Last but not least, an overnight stay in a Bedouin tent under the wondrous twinkling night sky is entirely unforgettable.
