Maybe I forgot to say:I am in the middle of the Great Eastern Erg.
An "erg" is an area of dunes...as opposed to a "reg" which is an rocky part of the desert.
Rob sent me this picture of where I am from Google Earth, pretty much confiming my suspicions that I was in a middle of dunes. (Jeez I am so funny!!)
the Lybian border is 180km East of us..an it is dunes all the way there.
Hassi Messaoud the town where the offices are and where we land when we arrive in Algeria is about 300km North-North West and it is solid dunes all the way there.....
I am not joking when I say that all I see is dunes....plus the spiders, the scarabs, the fenneks, the roughnecks, etc...
