Day 4.
Today it was out of the desert to Dongola to re-provision before returning to the desert to camp for the night.
The day 3 camp site was near the biggest dunes we encountered and our post-breakfast walk took in some.
Our millennial took on the leader in a race down, and back up. Some sandboards, or large cardboard cartons would have been fun!
And in comes the shuttle service.
Heading E towards the Nile and encountering some ‘islands’ of well-established vegetation. Sand dunes diminishing and rockier terrain.
Matted roots bind the sand.
And then the ‘Door to the desert’ oasis. Apparently there is one person, an experienced desert tracker, who still occasionally stays here. Otherwise it was abandoned.
Pebble surface and then onto the bitumen for the run into Dongola
Lunch on the bank of the Nile, while the drivers fuelled and re-provisioned and then it was back into the desert to camp for the night, arriving just on sunset.
