In the vast Western Desert of Egypt lies the Fayoum Oasis, a region filled with geological and archaeological wonders. Its most stunning treasure is the Gabal Qatrani Petrified Forest, a protected area that offers an unparalleled window into Earth’s deep past.
This is not a forest of green, living trees. It is a vast, silent landscape scattered with the stone remains of a prehistoric world. Here, you can walk among giant, fossilized logs and uncover the fossilized ancestors of elephants and monkeys. This is Egypt as it was 35 million years ago.
