Kharga Oasis is located in the south-western part of Egypt in the Libyan Desert. This oasis is one of the most developed in the Western Desert; it has a population of approximately 100,000 inhabitants, most of whom are descendants of an ancient nomadic tribe.
Kharga has not seen any rain in 20 years. Its climate is similar to that of the rest of the desert region in Egypt hot summers and mild winters. Nights are pleasant even during summers, while in winters, nights can get quite chilly.
A caravan route, known as the 40 Days Road, connecting Sudan and Egypt, used to pass through this region. It was a popular route for traders and merchants, and thus, the region flourished. The Romans built a chain of fortresses to protect Kharga from invaders.
