Kharga Travel Guide
Egypt
Kharga is a town of around 67,700 people in Egypt’s Western Desert, set within the Kharga Oasis. It is an inland destination rather than a coastal city, so the surrounding landscape is desert and oasis terrain rather than beaches.
Travellers arriving by air use El Kharga Airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Kharga, so beach visits are not part of a stay in the town.
