Living in Luxor - Excursions: 4-Day Desert Trip to Dakhla Oasis
Dakhla Oasis is situated in the heart of the Western Desert in a 80 km long depression surrounded by limestone plateaus, about 350 km away from Luxor. The oasis was settled since the 5th dynasty (2494–2345 BC) and densely populated during the Roman reign (30 BC–641 AD). Nowadays, Dakhla is part of the New Valley Governorate. More than half of the lands of Dakhla Oasis are agriculturally cultivated. This is possible because it has a large number of water springs. The archeaological sites of Dakhla class among insider tips.
Dakhla Oasis
At the time of the Pharaohs giraffes, lions and elephants presumably lived in the area around Kharga and Dakhla. Then there occured a climate change, and the desert developped. Since only some depressions - the oases - offered a suitable habitat for man and beast. Dakhla Oasis was located in the center of an important caravan trading route that linked it with the Kharga and Farafra Oases as well as the Nile Valley in the west and Libya in the east. During the rule of the Romans, who built irrigation systems and numerous fortresses, the oases get rich and were famous for their date palm and vineyard cultivation.
