From Kharga, a brand new city dropped in the middle of the Libyan desert, you must go to the temple of Hibis, a rare vestige of the Persian occupation, as well as to the Christian necropolis of Bagawat where you'll see hundreds of 5th century tombs and walls covered in painted scenes of the Old and New Testament.
