I was recently asked to join "Raid4x4Egypt", an exercise to promote desert tourism here
in Egypt by opening/finding a route from as near as possible to Cairo, through the Abu
Muharraq Dunes to Kharga Oasis - an offroad trip of some 1,000km.
Starting point in Cairo..
First night's campsite, 140km down the Bahariyah road, then 10 km into the desert...
Into the desert proper...
Waiting for the rest to catch up....
Oooops...!!
At one point we had 7 out of 13 cars bogged down... Took about three hours to get moving
again, then we had to get down here....
Roman Fort on the approach to Kharga...
If anybody is interested, I'll post pics of the places we visited on the return trip to Cairo,
Including a day in the White Desert.
