… it’s true that to
the
Sahara Desert
it is about 3 hours drive from the Djerba’s Flamingo Island,
where the coordinates brought you. But here you find yourself
amidst beautiful sandy dunes, a bit reminding those of the famous
desert. Find the cache and compare how fine the Sahara sand is.
Please don’t remove the tube with the Sahara
sand that we brought from our trip to Douze. Adding of your photo
of sand would please us!
Sahara is the
biggest desert of the world which takes 1/3 of the African
continent. Tunisia’s Sahara share is small but very safe and
well accessible by transportation, as well as very well equipped
with touristic infrastructure. This part of Sahara is given
priority by film-makers, e.g. B. Bertolucci. Sahara is composed
here of three main types – stony hamáda, pebbles serír and
sandy erg. Grass that grows here is called halfa and it is used for
the production of paper. Only 25mm of precipitation fall down
annually at the driest Sahara areas. Time flies slowly in Sahara,
sand shifts and moves, colours change from white to yellow and
golden-red. The dunes change their shapes and position. Position
– global position – time to find the cache!
