It can be a little confusing if you visit Crystal Mountain Egypt with the expectation of seeing a giant mountain rising up out of the desert. This is actually a ridge that forms between Bahariya Oasis and Farafra Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt. This ridge includes a unique structure. It is made entirely of calcite crystal that combine altogether to create a striking ridge standing up out of the desert. In essence, Crystal Mountain Egypt is an ancient Paleo that has been pushed to the earth’s surface, and is now in the process of being eroded away by the elements. The crystals themselves are quartz. The reason for its name has to do with the Arabic term for formation. It is the same word that we translate into English as mountain. That means the actual name is Crystal Formation, although that is not the common name the ridge is known by.
