Travel opportunity... Crossing the Sahara.
Surely one of the most potent, image-conjuring, spine-tingling, adrenalin-surging three-word combinations in the English language. Climbing Mount Everest, winning the lottery, crossing the Sahara—take your pick.
We get into our four-wheel-drive Land Cruisers outside of Cairo and cross the Sahara, camping all along the way, through Egypt, Libya, and Algeria to Morocco. Our camps will be well supported with cooks and staff, but this is pretty hard-core stuff, and we’ll put up our own tents and forgo the pleasures of toilet tents and such (very occasionally we might overnight at an oasis hotel).
Days 1 & 2: USA to Cairo • Day 3: Cairo • Day 4: drive to Bahariyya • Day 5: drive to Siwa • Days 6 & 7: Siwa Oasis (Alexander the Great, at great effort, consulted Siwa’s famed Oracle of Amman in 332 B.C.E.) • Day 8: cross into Libya • Day 9: drive to Waw Al-Kabir • Day 10: Waw Al-Kabir • Days 11–15: drive to Akakus via Idehan Murzuq • Day 16: cross into Algeria at Ghat • Days 17 & 18: Tassili Ajjer • Days 19–25: Tamanrasset and Hoggar Desert • Days 26 & 27: drive to Moroccan border • Day 28: drive to Fez via the Ziz Valley • Day 29: Fez • Day 30: drive to Casablanca and return to USA.
