Libyan Desert - The Great Sand Sea

“A dream is the bearer of a new possibility,
the enlarged horizon, the great hope.”
Howard Thurman

The Global Girl Travels: Ndoema at the beautiful freshwater lake at Bir Wahed, a striking natural landmark on the edge of the Great Sand Sea, a 72,000 km² sand desert region in North Africa stretching between western Egypt and eastern Libya.

After adrenaline-inducing roller coaster sand-dune riding and getting (temporarily) stranded in the middle of the Libyan desert, I continued on my exhilarating off-road safari adventure.

The highlight of this Sahara desert excursion was the beautiful freshwater lake at Bir Wahed, a striking natural landmark on the edge of The Great Sand Sea.

I loved soaking in the healing sulfur natural springs, and watching the sun setting over the dunes was truly a surreal experience.
