Valley of Whales (Wadi El Heetan)

In 2005, the UNESCO announced the Valley of Whales
a protectorate since it contains fossils of whales that date back to 40 million years ago. The valley validates the evolutionof whales from previous land-based animals to ocean going mammals. The road to the valley has been recently constructed, making it easier for non 4-wheel drive cars to get there. Furthermore, a wilderness desert campsite is also available, offering fire pits and water closets where campers can then enjoy sunset and sunrise at this spectacular site.
