Sahara by Car

Sadly independent travel is currently not possible in Libya - a guide is needed. I've only managed to secure a guide to cycle the Eastern half of Libya so I've had to arrange alternative transport for the western part, giving me a chance to visit the Sahara.

Libya is quite diferent from the rest of North Africa and perhaps the only country that has managed to retain the true spirit of this region. It's obviously very dry here - not least because Libya is the most Muslim country of all North Africa ;)



Let's offroad!










Miles from Nowhere










Dune













Surely a mirage?
