Foreign tourists ride camels near Dakhla oasis in Egypts Western Desert, some 900

Foreign tourists ride camels near Dakhla oasis in Egypt's Western Desert, some 900 km southwest from Cairo, September 24, 2008.

Egypt's state news agency MENA reported that the tourists had spent the night of Sept. 16 in a hotel in the Dakhla oasis before heading out toward the Gilf al-Kebir national reserve.
