The Sahara: Part Two

The sight of buildings and palm trees are a welcome break after the barren lands of the desert
Back     

At the top of the escarpment, Bear finds an age-old caravan route that would have been used as trade route. It still shows signs of activity today. The sight of buildings and palm trees are a welcome break after the barren lands of the desert – a hellish place to survive if ever there was one.
