....and into another - that just about sums up the experience of days spent among the sands and rocks of Libya's Jebel Akakus.
World Heritage-listed; considered the cradle of North African art and precursor to the wonders of Pharaonic Egyptian art; home to the famed Tuareg desert-dwellers; the landscape sculpted by the wind into an extraordinary world of tortured rock formations and sweeping dunes; night skies filled with stars of incredible clarity and brilliance; a silence so deep and profound you can think you are the only people left on earth; all this awaits the visitor to the magical world of the Saharan desert.

what a fascinating place, Leyle, Libya is also one of my dream-destinations. | lynnehamman Fri Apr 3, 2009 00:17 UTC
I can understand your love of this place, Leyle. It looks fascinating. The rockpaintings-unique(especially the giraffes) and Desert Dreaming photos outstanding. Unfortunately travel involves much red tape re permits!Is it still so? | yumyum Tue Jan 6, 2009 20:48 UTC

Wow..amazing place. Nice desert photos with the wall pantings. Thanks for sharing this UNESCO WHS site. One of your photo in transport tip (Part 2) is missing. Cheers, SL :) |
