 | Gilf Kebir and the Great Sand Sea - 8th March 2010 - 14 Days with Colin Reader
Only a select few travel to Gilf Kebir with its extraordinary cave paintings and dramatic landscapes. Even fewer cross the silica glass fields and the Great Sand Sea. Join us on a superb adventure in one of the world's least explored locations. Few places in the world show large white areas on maps with phrases like 'area believed not to exceed 2400 feet', but the Gilf is one of them!
