Apr\u00e8s l\u2019exploration de ces deux grottes, nous prenons au cap Ouest une ancienne piste de chameliers qui reliait Assyut \u00e0 l\u2019oasis de Farafra. Le long de cette piste, nous nous arr\u00eatons un instant dans un champ de grosses pierres rondes et noi\u00adres comme des boulets de canon, on se croirait sur les restes d\u2019un champ de bataille d\u2019artillerie. Nous trouvons aussi le long de cette piste du bois p\u00e9trifi\u00e9 ainsi des fleurs de marcassite de fer, qui sont des petites pierres tr\u00e8s dures, noires, rondes et h\u00e9riss\u00e9es de pointes, comme de petites \u00e9toiles tomb\u00e9es du ciel. Nous passons par la source d\u2019A\u00efn Hadra o\u00f9 nous faisons la pause de midi \u00e0 l\u2019ombre des palmiers. A partir de l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi, c\u2019est le d\u00e9but d\u2019un d\u00e9cor grandiose dans lequel nous \u00e9voluons. Nous arrivons progressivement dans le d\u00e9sert blanc et c\u2019est \u00e0 chaque fois la m\u00eame euphorie pour moi devant ce spectacle magique de la nature. Ce d\u00e9sert, \u00e0 l\u2019apparence d\u2019un paysage enneig\u00e9, est implant\u00e9 sur les restes d\u00e9chiquet\u00e9s d\u2019un massif calcaire form\u00e9 de d\u00e9p\u00f4ts s\u00e9dimentaires de l\u2019\u00e9poque du Cr\u00e9tac\u00e9 (\u00e8re m\u00e9sozo\u00efque 144 \u00e0 65 millions d\u2019ann\u00e9es av. J.-C.). Ces restes se traduisent par une blancheur exceptionnelle comme de la craie et des formes fantasmagoriques fa\u00e7onn\u00e9es par l\u2019\u00e9rosion du sable et du vent. Corinne et Hans n\u2019en croient pas leurs yeux,\u00a0dans ce d\u00e9cor irr\u00e9el, c\u2019est une promenade dans un monde fantastique de champignons g\u00e9ants, d\u2019ice-creams, de t\u00eates d\u2019animaux et de profils humains, tout ce que notre imagination peut interpr\u00e9ter devant ces formes d\u00e9mesur\u00e9es. Nous y restons deux jours pour en profiter pleinement et y faire une orgie de photos.
