A caravan crossing plains between Jebel Kissu and Jebel Uweinat
A caravan crossing plains between Jebel Kissu and Jebel Uweinat - Legendary 40 Days Route leads across Saharan sands from Sudan to Egypt. It is one of very few caravan routes still in use. A similar route leads to Libyan oasis of Al Kufra. It takes a month of walking in scorching sun to get to Kufra from Mellit in Northern Darfur of Sudan. It is over one thousand kilometres and some of camels do not make it. Along camel's footprints carcasses show the way. Jebel Kissu which marks direction and Southern Jebel Uweinat where water is available are milestones of the trek where caravans stop and rest. Then the last 10 days stretch of the walk begins.
