Lybia 2010

It was a big wish to visit Lybia. It had something magic to us. Were it the stories about the fantastic sanddunes, or was it the fact that you should had been invited to be there? In praktice you can be invited by the first of the best travelling agency, but it had someting magic. We started this adventure with a group of 7 4x4's. At the program e.g. Jebel Acacus, Erg Murzuq, Erg Ubari and the Mandara Lakes.

It would be an amazing adventure, f.i. costs of a liter petrol: 8 eure cent, bounching for days over washboard pistes and sand dunes of more than hondred meters high. The Murzuq impressed us totally even as the rock art carvings in the Acacus (was it really original?) and the hudge empty spaces everywhere in this big country. Just after leaving Lybia an revolution against Ghadaffi broke out and we realize that we were probably one of the last visitors of this wonderfull country. Now Ghadaffi is exit and the the country is ballancing at the edge of a civil war it might take a long time till it is safe to visit the Murzuq again.
