The rivers of the Western Desert

[fivemack]

This is with an iphone out of the window of a plane flying Luxor to Cairo; there's mile after mile after mile of this sort of amazingly branching dried-up river bed. I don't have the slightest idea what it would have looked like when wet - it's not the Okavango Delta, they're clearly tributaries merging rather than an enormous thing splitting - or when it dried.

An atlas I have handy shows them as seasonal rivers. I'd guess the season is winter.
