Libya 2010

Desert Soul supports intercultural rapprochement and education

13.2.2010 | Tripoli, Libya

Entering the Rebiana oasis. 3 of the 14 teachers, destined for two years to Rebiana from all over Libya.

A part of the preparations for the next expedition, scheduled for end of 2010 and the beginning of the 2011, was a visit, paid to the schools in Kufra and in the tiny oasis of Rebiana. Desert Soul is about to step a step higher. Simple travels that probably brought different cultures a bit closer to the minds of my blogs' readers will grow into expeditions that will not only serve as a rapprochement of cultures, but also encourage education and later hopefully also other things that communities in the world are in need of.

From the dunes to Tripoli

12.2.2010 | Tripoli, Libya

Good morning, sunshine! The last series of dunes (actually I had to bite into the closest one, just 2 metres from where I'm standing now) and... ... we're out!

The next morning my house and I managed to find the way out of the dunes and entered al-Waha oil field. After having my morning nescafe with the security guys at the entry gate (the tyres were meanwhile being inflated to the definite 3 and 3,5 bar – approximately 40 and 50 PSI) I headed northwards, but less than a kilometre later my attention was drawn to a huge Dodge truck next to which my dwelling looked like a dwarf.

10.2.2010 | Rebiana Sand Sea, Libya

The way to the 150 kilometres-distant Rebiana looks quite ok at first... ... afterwards, the horizon gets rugged by troubles, also depicted on my truck's sides. I just keep driving, not knowing where to bite into them.

As we reached Kufra we said goodbye and the next day all of them flew via Benghazi to Tripoli. I received from the police a document that allowed me to TRAVEL ALONE IN LIBYA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!

Story in pictures

5.2.2010 | Al-Aweinat, border between Libya, Egypt and the Sudan

Let's start with this one then, although it was only taken in the evening But this is how the day actually started. Mohsen, Anas, Basheer, Ricardo, Sallah, Adam and Omran. No, don't click on

I knew it would happen! Magnificent location, excellent company and a few days on the same place. Magic!

Caravan's arrival

4.2.2010 | Libyan Sahara

Good morning, Aweinat! From left to right: Sallah, white Toyota driver, and Omran, black Toyota driver, chatting about the upcomming day under the silky fondling of the Sun. A fox passed here at night.

We finally took it easy and relaxed after days of running by pitching a camp on one place for a couple of nights. As I told you before, the place was magical. In this and the following posts you'll be able to appreciate its beauty.
