> As far as I know, there is hardly a chance to cross the border at NALUT. Normally it is RAS JEDIR (ZUARA). At least: The second location is sure.
> After MARADA you have chosen to drive north to MERSA EL BUREGA. Save the detour and go on direct to GIALO. Thre is no official road but the "going" is easy. Since you have a guide with you anyway, you should have no problems in the oil-field area.
> From GIALO to GIARABUB there is not track and for sure no road. I know, they are marked in the maps. However, the route is possible like this.
> From EL ADEM (north of TOBRUK) to the border of EGYPT you have planned to follow the old TRIG CAPUZZO. Forget it please. The track is not used anymore. Military is present in the area and you should not drive into the border area except on official roads! First the area is observed by the authorities and second there are MINES out of the 70ies when Libya and Egypt were not on the same line... Drive to TOBRUK and follow the coastal road. There are some nice places, spectacular views and you will love the beach after this long desert trip.
Best regards & good planning, Kuno
