Camel travel
 

hi! i would like to get in touch with anyone who has done any longer camel travel in or thru the Sahara. I am planning to cross from east to west by camel. I would be honured indeed to hear from you. Mikaelexplorermikaelstrandberg@gmail.com

Hello Mikael. We met one time after Kolyma (and I saw an Ally the other day and thought of you.)
Have a look at constanttrek
From the west she got as far as Mali-Niger border but had to give up as last year was bad. It's looking a bit better now in Niger.

Technically it is possible of course, but politically less and less so, especially in the east.

Keep an eye on Niger, the President dissolved Parliament the day before yesterday; what happens next???

Fingers crossed it will stay calm especially in the north!

thanx a lot for the reply´s!
 

the countries i am eyeing in on is Egypt, Libya, Algeria and Morocco. I am beginning in Oman and passing through Yemen, Saudi and Jordan before crossing the Sinai into Cairo I guess.

As long as you don't mind entering and leaving Libya at the coast (ie: exiting into Tunisia from wher you access Alg) and then heading from Alg to Mauritania, it all becomes less complicated, but less purely Saharan IMO.

Have a look at routes map: Sahara Overland ~ Trans Sahara Routes
