Tourist Attractions
The well over ten kilometer long depression is bounded in the north by a limestone ridge that already belongs to the Qattara depression. There are several springs along this ridge. At these springs there are swampy landscapes with lush vegetation. Lower areas can be recognized by the dark, water-containing sand, and in some cases the water also comes to the surface.
The Qattara Depression can be reached through the Tabaghbagh Pass (Naqb Tabaghbagh), a valley cut in the aforementioned ridge. Numerous tamarisks grow in this wadi. This is the basis for abundant wildlife.
