Corridor Libya

The Calanshio desert extends across eastern Libya between the oases of Jalu and Kufra. Much of its northern and central country is a stony or gravelly plain, known as a sarir, while great belts of dunes lie to the east and south. The long ridges of the Calanshio sand sea run roughly north and south, contrasting with the broad, flat ground beside them. Rain is rare in this part of the Sahara.
