For two weeks we visited the Libyan Desert Southwest, a place that combines all the diversity of the Sahara. Arena, incredible rock formations. Salt lakes surrounded by palm trees that can only be achieved after saving dunes more than seventy feet, archaeological remains of five thousand years old ... A great place where the last Tuareg trying to survive to modern times. 

From Erg Titegsien Ghat, and the great Tassili Maguidat a forest of stone pinnacles that come out of nowhere from the golden sand, and we served to whet your mouth and our bodies get used to the sand, heat and wind. 

The route continued to the PN Akakus: Al Waynat (Serdeles) Takharkhouri step. Afiziejar arc, Wadi Tashwinat Tadrart and end the dunes of Wan Kaza idhan. 

The two plateaus of Settafet Masako (black) and Masako Mallet (white) separate the dunes of Wan Kaza the great idhan Murzuq, in the Fezzan, one of the major deserts of the Sahara where the sun stained the sand of a characteristic reddish . 

We continue to depression of Wadi Matkhandoush and stone desert surrounding it, the most inhospitable place for the entire journey. The trip ended in Ubari idhan next to oasis as always we drew when we were children, places with which we have all dreamed of: Mandara, MAFO, Um Even Alm'a and Gaber.
