I am preparing an article on threats to rock art in the Western Desert of Egypt, and my case study is the Dakhleh Oasis. I am looking mainly for references concerning threats to rock art sites in Egypt, especially in deserts. Reports on rock art vandalism, looting and destruction from other regions of the Sahara would also be of help.
Please let me know if this site is helpful to your research.

have you looked at Hossam Ismael's work from Assiut University? we corresponded on similar topic last year.
Dear Pawel Polkowski, warm greetings from Kharga Oasis, I am ready to host you a week in the Dakhla and Kharja Oasis and provide a car for that week so as to doing your field study. And it might be useful to check this page

Thanks a lot my dear Timothy Edward Jones i appreciate your recommend.
On a nother hand, there is very important page Pawel has to visit, it is Salima Ikram page https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Salima_Ikram
Dear Hossam Ismael,
thank you very much for your response and your generous offer. I intend to be in Dakhleh next winter, as our rock art project received funding again. The question is, whether we will manage to receive all the necessary permissions. Lets hope we will! I will contact you once I know more details about our future work in the Western Desert. It would be great to meet you there.
And thank you for the links - I stay in touch both with Maxine and Salima. Salima's work on rock art in Kharga is very important for our studies in Dakhleh. I also downloaded your articles on Kharga and Dakhleh which I find very helpful.
All the best!
Paweł
