Corridor Libya

The Libyan Desert stretches across the eastern Sahara in a vast succession of gravel plains and sand seas. North of Kufra the Calanshio sand sea runs towards the oases of Jalu and Jaghbub, its long dunes lying beside expanses of bare, stony ground. The palm groves of Kufra form a striking contrast to the surrounding desert. Across this arid country, the distances between oases are as prominent as the dunes themselves.
