		Thus, though Dakhla continues to have seven dairas or subdivisions, whereas the others have only six, its current population of approximately 30,000 now makes it the smallest of the four camps.
		Even more pressing, however, is ensuring that Dakhla's residents continue to receive adequate food and medical supplies now that there is no formal body set up in the camp to coordinate distribution of donated materials.
		Yet Dakhla's residents live within a harsh predicament: their isolation makes them even more dependent on the assistance of the international community than residents of the other camps, but this very isolation makes it more difficult for assistance to reach them.

	Egypt: The History of the Dakhla Oasis
		However, as with most of the rest of the Western Desert, this wet era passed, and with it many of the people mostly migrated south and to the east, where they helped populate the early Nile Valley, as the sands slowly covered their ancient way of life.
		The lush Dakhla, while an agricultural area on the very fringes of the Roman Empire, was undoubtedly expected to provide a major part of the grain that Rome demanded of Egypt, even though it was not as overall important as the Kharga Oasis during that period.
		Kharga was important in order to protect Rome's trade routes, but the Fayoum Oasis was treated harshly as simply a breadbasket, and as it became depopulated, this role shifted to the Daklha, which for similar reasons, also lost much of its population during this era.

		Our high spirits were somewhat dashed at the checkpoint at Dakhla, where we were told that the officer who can endorse our permits to continue is on leave, and we must go to Kharga to see the commanding officer there.
		After a night in the hotel at Dakhla, and some frantic telephone calls, it was soon evident that nobody is likely to deal with the trivial issue of our permits for the time being.
		The soldiers at the Dakhla checkpoint had no objections to us spending a few days in the desert before going back towards Cairo, so after fuelling we set out, first along the road, towards the edge of the dunes.

		Like Kharga, Dakhla was once dominated by a vast lake or ‘playa’ and neolithic rock-carvings have been found which indicate that elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and ostriches watered on its shores.
		Dakhla especially seems to have been very fertile and known to be a centre for the production of wine, fruit, grain and minerals which were extracted from its inhabitants in the form of taxes.
		Apart from the wealth of archaeology and the rich cultural heritage of Dakhla there is also an abundance of hot and cold springs, famous for their therapeutic effects, said to be a cure for many ailments.
