Corridor Egypt

South of Farafra, a desert route crosses the plateau toward the Dakhla Oasis. Known as the Darb el-Farafra, it passes the northern escarpment of Dakhla and reaches the oasis near El Qasr. Travellers moving between the two depressions crossed long stretches of dry country, relying on the water and cultivated land at either end. The route formed part of a network connecting the Western Desert oases with the Nile Valley.
