Corridor Egypt

The desert east of Dakhla and Kharga separates the oases from the cultivated Nile Valley. Ancient roads crossed the dry plateau and escarpments between these regions. The Girga Road linked northern Kharga to the Theban part of the Nile Valley, while other caravan routes joined Kharga and Dakhla. Wells and oasis settlements provided points of rest along journeys through a land with little surface water.
