The Great Desert Landscapes include The Qattara Depression and the Great Sand Sea in the Western Desert, and the Wadi Sannur Cave in the Eastern Desert. At the latter limestone cave alabaster was collected.

I visited one of the three great desert landscape locations - The Great Sand Sea in December 2018, south of Siwa Oasis.
It is impossible not to be amazed by the massive sand dunes - gold and shining against blue sky and white cotton clouds. There is indeed beauty in the serenity. Our guide said that no one can survive or live in such an inhospitable landscape, and that everyone can only admire the desert from a certain point, but all must return to life and safety.
That temporary bonding of the eyes and soul with the endless waves of sand dunes is the therapy and healing for anyone who visit.
