The colors of the deserts – The Yellow Sahara Part 5

Synopses

Ocean-waves of yellow sand and dunes passing by. Date-palm–oasis invites you to rest in the middle of a troublesome trip. You will possibly not be the only one who sees a Mirage in the distance.
Fine sand like in the Sahara- Desert covers only 20 % of all deserts but Egypt’s desert is the only one that’s almost half covert with sand. It is fascinating traveling thru a picture-book- desert and see the famous Oasis –Siwa. Known by the oracle of Amun-Re. 40 miles away from the Libyan border Oasis- Siwa is one of the fares places in a long distance range of West- Egypt. The only way to discover the beauty of the Sahara –desert was possible by building a strait- line running Desert-Street for non- caravanning travelers.
