Batakue

The 'highway' west of Luxor takes you into the desert, but not a romantic mass of rolling dunes, and fine sandy slopes (not for a while anyway), but a flat, dusty haze of hot dirt. After a many hours and many police checkpoints you reach oases. Water gushes from underground into an otherwise barren landscape providing growth for plantations and date palms. Over centuries villages have established around these springs. One of these oases is called Bahariya. And one of these towns (and there are only a few) is called Bawiti.
