Portrait of farming child

A farmer's young daughter stands in front of date palms in fertile fields where agriculture is important for survival, at Bedhal near Dahkla Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt. Dakhla Oasis consists of several communities, along a string of sub-oases. The main settlements are Mut (more fully Mut el-Kharab and anciently called Mothis), El-Masara, Al-Qasr, Qalamoun, together with several smaller villages. Some of the communities have identities that are separate from each other. Qalamoun has inhabitants that trace their origins to the Ottomans.
