The animals you expect to see in the desert are not the ones you will see. Most people expect to see snakes and scorpions- when in fact these are rare, very rare in the deep desert. You are much more likely to see falcons wheeling in the sky or a jerboa, a small rodent, hopping along. Deeper into the desert, especially at old campsites, you may get a shy visit from a Fennec fox, whosebig ears help keep it cool without sweating. You can also expect to see pad footed geckos and other desert lizards. Beetles with elongated legs
to keep them above the hot sand. Weddan, or wild sheep, still exist down near Uweinat and the Gilf Kebir. Ibex, long horned deer, are still seen in the Eastern desert, some as near as twenty kilometers from Cairo.
