In The Lost Desert all life depends on the never-ending struggle to obtain and retain water. All Neopets and PetPets living in this area have evolved clever methods for maintaining adequate water supplies. For example, the Apis stores water in its lump and can go days without water; the Lyins live under the sand, searching for moisture; and the Desert Elephante can hold enough water in its trunk for three days. Luckily, there's a body of water right outside of the tall walls of Sakhmet City for the rest of the locals to take advantage of.

Places of Interest
Although the Lost Desert may sound quite boring at first, there are many, many places of interest. Feel free to read the following lists and visit the places that catch your attention. If you have spare time, I do suggest visiting all of these places.
Shops:
Peopatra's PetPets : Nothing makes a Neopet smile like a PetPet from Peopatra's PetPet shop. Many of the PetPets here have special talents, like burrowing underground, making loud humming noises, roaming around the desert aimlessly, biting fingers, and giggling like mad. If this sounds like something your Neopet would like, then make sure to visit Peopatra's shop.
Osiri's Pottery : Looking to add some style and class to your NeoHome? Come buy some lovely trinkets at Osiri's Pottery store. Buy a simple urn so you won't keep getting asked, "What's with that gray dust lying on your table?" Or how about a lovely jug from which to serve a delicious glass of water? Plus, it's worth a stop at the shop just to ask Osiri where she gets her hair done.
Battle Supplies : A few battle accessories are a must in the harsh desert. Why not stop by the Lost Desert Battle Supplies Shop to stock up? Don't let that mysterious shopkeeper scare you. Save your fear for the assortment of daggers, staffs, swords and the like. It's all very Lost Desert, isn't it?
Food Stall : Grab a bite to eat whilst traveling across the hot Lost Desert! A wide range of foods including Scarab cookis, Tchea Fruit, Ummagine, Sutek Muffins and Sand Watermelons. Do watch how much sand you're eating though! Too much of a good thing turns into a really bad thing!
Games
Tug-o-War : Tug-o-War is the ultimate test of strength, do you think you can prove yourself? Many of the strongest pets that have dominated in the Battledome will come from all around to tug until they can tug no more. Do you think you're strong enough to beat Truggdon the Grundo? Or smart enough to catch Horak cheating?
Swarm : Eeewwww, sick! Gross bugs!! Get your spray out... wait, these bugs are Evil Bugs, and they're attacking Neopian Protection Zone 6b, and Neopia needs your help! Get inside your specially-designed Wocky tank and blast the legs right off these bugs before it's too late!!!
Pyramids : What would be a desert without some pyramids? That's easy. A desert without pyramids. Seriously folks, what would The Lost Desert be without pyramids? Lost? Exactly. If you remove all the cards from the Pyramid, you could win big Neopoints, and that's what The Lost Desert is all about... bringing new opportunities to Neopians.
Scarab 21 : Play the cards in any of the five columns in order to get the column's sum to be 21! In addition to the standard scoring possibilities, there are many hidden bonus plays and their payoff can be quite large. Have Fun and good luck!
Sakhmet Solitaire : Now you can play the classic Solitaire card game and win rare items, trophies and neopoints while doing so! Tell the Chomby how many cards to draw out each click, pay the Chomby 50 neopoints and away you go!
Mummy Maze : Guide Kiaran the Kyrii through the pyramid to try and collect as much gold as possible. Watch out for the Scorchio mummies, flames, floating skulls and many other devious traps!
Geos : Bomb or build? That's just one of the choices you'll have to make in Geos.
Other
The Calculator : Use this cool Lost Desert Calculator to help you with your homework, pay bills or just click random numbers. There are instructions for opening up advanced functions such as sine, cosine, square root and even a dice that spits out random numbers!
The Fruit Machine : Roll Up... Roll Up, its the one and only Neopet Fruit Machine. Every day you can get one free spin, if the first two fruits match you win a prize. If all three fruits match you win a really big prize!
Coltzan's Shrine : Standing at the peak of a sand dune you see a tall monolith covered with strange heiroglyphics. It is the Shrine of the late King Coltzan III. His spirit still inhabits the shrine, and if you approach, he may grant you something to help you in your battles, a few neopoints or a shiny dubloon!

Arabian Heights
Although the Anubis is most commonly thought of as an adorable little Sakhmetian petpet [don't get me wrong, they're my personal favourite!], Anubis was actually the mortuary God of Ancient Egypt. Meaning, he was the God of the Underworld. In the early stages of Egyptian religion, Anubis was the jackal-headed deity who devoured the dead. However in later Egyptian religion, Anubis' traits showed only very faint traces of his animal-like origin. As the god of the Necropolis at Suit, Anubis was subject to the city-god Upawat, a wolf and sun deity. Along with Thoth, Anubis shared the responsibilities of conducting the dead through Amenti, the Hidden Place, the West ~ the region of the dead where the soul was taken to the hall of Osiris and considered by 42 judges who sent it to Aaru or condemned it to eternal torment.
Anubis is commonly described as a son of Osiris. In the company of Osiris, he attained great recognition. Anubis is a very ancient deity of the dead, and is represented prowling among the graves in the desert surrounding Suit.
Trial on the Nile The following text came from the Gallery of Evil.
In the final days of the Siege on Sakhmet, the Evil Dr. Sloth summoned the Rock Beast to ensure his victory and drive out the attacking Neopets. Things however did not go according to plan.
Well guest, I hope you have <

Princess Sankara
This 19-year-old princess holds the title of Heiress to the throne of the Fourth Khonsu Dynasty, but she is not the daughter or King Coltzan III. Her family ruled a land many dunes away, but when neighbouring forces attacked their city, Sankara ran away to seek refuge in Sakhmet.

King Coltzan III
King Coltazan III was the King of the Lost Desert until he was murdered. Despite the King's recent passing to the Underworld, the many tales of his great courage are still being told so his brave spirit may be a guide to future generations. The King's most famous words are: "I shall cower before no evil, and defend the virtue of my people against all enemies. Regardless of the outcome, at least I know that I have fought for a most noble cause."
The Works of Lady Osiri
Osiri's Pottery is my favourite shop in all of Neopia. I go in there quite often and talk to Lady Osiri and browse through her wonderful works of art. Lady Osiri stocks a lovely range of vases, bowls, pots and other earthenware. Below are a few of my favourite items from Osiri's Pottery:
Aren't they just exquisite! These items (from left to right) are an Eye Motif Vase, Golden Water Lily Bowl and a Terracota Lamp. Any of Osiri's works absolutely polish off any Neoroom. I seriously recommend Osiri's Pottery, check it out today!

1) Put all 25 Grakle bugs into a bowl a mash them together. Add seasoning sand to the Grakle bugs.
2) Take the turkey and prepare it for the Grakle bugs.
3) Once the turkey is prepared, take the Grakle bugs and stuff the turkey with them.
4) Bast the turkey and sprinkle it with seasoning sand and maybe some crushed scarab cookis.
The best way to serve a Lost Desert Feast is to lay the Sutek Deluxe, Fruit Salad, Pyramibread, Red eye eggs around the table with the turkey in the center. Serving the Pyramicake and the Scarab cookis for desert along with a cup of Strong Berry Java for each person normally makes anybody happy. Good luck with your feast!

The Rock Beast
The Rock Beast is nearly indestructable, and when destroyed it can be brought back to life to fight endlessly against any number of opponents. Even seperating its body will not kill it as the individual parts will slowly move back together to reform the beast's body.
thoroughly enjoyed your stay, and i do hope to see you
soon. Please visit my sisters if you have the time! Bye!
