It was called during the ancient Egyptian time the Oasis of Thebes. The Greek historian Herodotus mentioned that the Persian great king Campuses sent a huge army, about 50,000 men from Thebes, in order to destroy the oracle temple of Amon -Zeus at Siwa.

The huge army reached the Oasis of El Kharga, to be provided with water and food , then they marched towards Siwa but the campaign was vanished and no one till now can tell what really happened. Some historians suggested that the Persian army was lost in the desert and was sunken in the Great Sea Of Sand which extends along the borders between Egypt and Libya.
