For a day by the water with a difference, plan an excursion to the bubbling pools of Mut Talata. This place is known for its mineral-rich waters.
You'll want to have your camera handy when you're visiting this naturally heated water source. It attracts many travelers who come to Shurtah al-Dakhlah. Also worthy of a few snaps is Ethnographic Museum. Conveniently near Mut Talata, it's another of this area's highlights.
