CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN: Sparkling like diamonds  The name "mountain" is result of Arabic speakers using the word for mountain also for formations that are really small. The Crystal Mountain is not really a mountain, rather a rock or ridge. But "crystal" is a correct description, and a stop here is definitely worth the time. Resembling the crystals of the Superman movies, the quartz crystals manage to fascinate most visitors. Although you should not break off crystals from the rock, there are plenty of loose crystals spread around on the ground. Walking away from the most frequented parts, there are crystal lumps as big as footballs.There is also a natural arch here, man-high. Practicalities There are no settlements, so people coming out here do it as part of an organized trip. The organizers will provide for all practicalities, unless otherwise has been agreed upon. Hotels, restaurants and tour operators are in Bahariya or Farafra. Going Next © Copyright 1996-2008 LookLex Ltd. All rights reserved |
