The country of Egypt in northeastern Africa is famous as a tourist spot. The ancient pyramids are its most famous attraction, but not the only one. The White Desert, located about 370 km southwest of Cairo, has recently been gaining popularity with adventure travelers. The desert gets its name from the large white rocks and white sand drifts that have been formed by many years of erosion and weathering. Like many parts of the Earth, this area was once underwater.
在非洲東北方的埃及是一個著名的觀光勝地。古老的金字塔是該國最負盛名的景點，但它並非唯一的景點。白沙漠，位於開羅西南方約三百七十公里處，近來深受冒險旅行者的青睞。此沙漠得名於它受多年侵蝕風化所形成的白色巨石和白沙堆。如同地球上許多地區一樣，這個區域曾經位於海平面底下。
