    The main aim of this paper is presentation of interesting sites and geological formations of the Eastern Desert in Egypt. The authors mention also samples of petrified wood, which were collected from an area of the Eastern Desert, about 30 km away from Cairo. Samples of wood were subjected to a series of mineralogical studies under the microscope. It appeared that fragments of wood were mineralized with secondary silica as well as iron and manganese compounds. The area of the Eastern Desert, like the whole Sahara Desert, is interesting for geologists and tourists.
