Hello,
It is very difficult to cross the dunes in this direction. You have to jump up and down each dune string. The Murzuk sandsea have the dune strings in the direction NE-SW. No one agency do this way direct.

A guy I know did this route in Feb. Not via Wadi Mat and so less against the grain of the dunes. He said it was not as difficult as it looks.

I was told yesterday that entry into the Akakus from Ghat is closed since a year (due to illegals coming through from Alg) and the only way in and out is from the top via Serdeles. But clearly the guy's route came in from the Ghat area so who knows.

There is no piste - it is cross country through the dunes (this guy only travels in dunes). I can ask him for waypoints if you like.
