Bakhary Oazis Farafra Oaziss oasis Farafra
Historically the oasis Farafra was less occupied and farthest of 4 oases. When camels were the unique vehicle, inhabitants of Farafra had the smallest contact with Bakhariyey (four-day travel), than with Dakhla which has been connected with the Road of forty days. Fakhri tells, how inhabitants of the village have once lost the account of time and could establish true day for Friday prayers only having sent the messenger to Dakhla. Till that time as in 1978 the asphalted road has been constructed, to the vedovy car the whole day and the winch was required to climb up a slope to Bakhariya. But the oasis maintained relations with the Plain of Nile already at the V dynasty when it was called as Ta-uxe, «Earth of a cow». Even now cattle of Farafra of the same breed, as well as represented in old graves and temples (though in an oasis also it has not been found monuments of Pharaohs), and are appreciated so that smugglers deliver them in Bakhariya, I use tracks bypassing policemen control пт.
Kasr al Farafra was the unique village in an oasis before the project the Brand new plain has placed dozen of small villages on a hollow where at present there live 15 000 settlers from the region of Asyut. Kasr remained very rather small society of 4 expanded families and is known for the piety in particular natural during Ramadan when mosques are overflowed by imams and sheikhs in longish clothes. On comparison with Bakhariyey here the smallest number of people are involved in the tourist sphere therefore here practically there is no turmoil and not enough than it is possible to be engaged in the evenings. Farafra - most sleepy of all oases and few tourists stop in Kasra more than for one night.
