El Kebir Packages
Gilf Kebir (Gilf al-Kebir, Jilf al
Kabir ) is a plateau in the remote southwest corner of
Egypt. Its name translates as "the Great Barrier". This
7770-square-kilometre sandstone plateau roughly the size
of Puerto Rico rises 300m from the desert floor. It is
known for its rugged beauty, remoteness, geological
interest, and the dramatic cliff paintings and rock
carvings which depict an era of abundant animal life and
human habitation. |
