Whales of the Desert presents the intriguing, and nearly unbelievable, story about the Earth’s ancient whales that once thrived in what is now harsh desert.

Stunning photography of the unique desert landscape and latest fossil finds are combined with advanced computer animations by the BBC’s award-winning team and Image House.

Shot in the Western Desert of Egypt at Wadi El-Hitan Valley of the Whales World Heritage Site, Whales in the Desert takes you on a journey to ancient times, about 40 million years ago, when whales were evolving from land mammals and the World was experiencing climate change.
