After that, we will continue our way until we reach the territory of the black desert. There, you'll see an outstanding sandy mountain covered with black stones & minerals that look like iron & coal, which is called "El Marsos Mountain".

Then, you'll head to the White Desert before the sunset, where you'll feel that you are walking upon the surface of the moon as the white sand of the desert looks like snow and the rocks represent human heads, shapes of Mushroom, forms of plants, and even chicken, and in fact, all of these shapes were created because of the harsh wind in that area. While being there, you'll capture beautiful photos to remind you of such an experience and you'll also watch the sunset. Surprisingly, in this area, the color of the surface is changeable, as during the daytime, it is orange and it turns pink and then purple during the time of the moonlight. After taking some pictures, we will drive back to the black desert for camping and we will stop on our way at the place of the Crystal Mountain to look at a true miracle as the stones of the mountains shine as if they are pieces of glass that will make you want to have pictures to and that is not all as you'll find some tracks of the desert wolves on the sand.
