Admittedly there isn’t much to Farafra Oasis but the mudbrick homes of the residents and Badr’s Museum. We stopped to check out the artwork of Badr Abdel Mogdy and to search for petrol. Although cheap due to heavy subsidies, petrol shortages are common especially around the oases. Badr’s art is very organic as you can see and depicts oasis life. In the cafe next door our friend and guide, Ahmed put together a really delicious lunch of traditional bread, fuul (beans), sharp sheep’s cheese, and salad. Successful in the search for petrol we were now fed and free to head on towards Dhakla.
