It's located where the Sahara Desert meets the Red Sea, in Egypt.
Three Greek women - an artist, an industrial designer, and an architect - wanted to "address the desert as a state of mind." So, in 1997, they built an enormous land art piece that spreads over 100,000 square meters of land.
Since then, Desert Breath, has faced erosion, wind and extreme temperatures, changes made by weather. Still, more than twenty years later, you can still see the enormous spiral the three women created on Google Earth.
