A CULTURAL TRAVEL THROUGH IMAGES

LIBYA
Out into the desert

When in Libya you just have to get out into the big desert - the Sahara. We drowe the about 600 km to Ghadames, just where the borders of Libya, Algeria and Tunisia meet. The roads were very good, but the tires on the mini-bus - well, during the trip we destroyed 4 tires, and imagine how dificult it is to get a new one out in the desert. Luckily it always happened close to where we should take a coffee-break anyway, so we vaited patiently while the driver searched for new tyres. The bus company sent us 4 new ones by taxi, so our tour back home to Tripoli went without problems. Well, here are somehting of what we experienced in the desert
