Alien-Looking Landscapes You Can Actually Visit on Earth
17. White Desert, Egypt – An Extraterrestrial Wonderland of Chalk Formations
In the heart of Egypt’s Sahara lies the White Desert, a place so strange and otherworldly that it seems to defy reality. Giant chalk-white rock formations, sculpted by wind erosion, rise like alien sculptures from the golden sand, creating a stark contrast that feels completely unearthly. Some formations resemble mushrooms, others look like frozen waves, and some seem like they belong in a science fiction movie. Visiting at sunrise or sunset, when the rocks glow in shades of pink and gold, adds to the surreal experience.
