Itinerary description

Show original
I started by Marsa Matroth on the road to Siwa with rain, so I stopped. Due to the complexity of a junction (but also the sun hidden from the clouds and I did not understand the course early), I traveled some kilometers to Libya. So I had the opportunity to see and where it is. I turned back and walked in the desert road to Siwa, which is controlled and belongs to the military forces of the country. At the point where I stopped my journey at night in the desert, one can ask for a night because it has two shops that have tea and dry food. (there are only two points on the 300km route in the desert where you can do this so I think the information is important).
