Tracks in the sand left at the dune belt separating Arkenu and Uweinat masivs - If you look at one of very feaw maps of Sahara you will notice an abundance of roads crosing the desert in all directions. In reality these roads have never existed. What the cartographers wanted to say is that at least once somebody drove or walked trough this area. You will be lucky to find tracks of other vehicles and if you find them they may be tens of years old left by ealier explorers. On the other hand the fresher tracks are usualy left by smuglers. The most profitable cargo are humans going north and electronics going south. Humans going north are Africans with dreams of better life in Europe. Electronics come from East Asia and are valued and scarse comodity in Subsaharan Africa. The cargo trucks staging areas are located at outscirts of Sebha and Kufrah oasis. A fully loaded track ready to cross Sahara looks like nothing you saw before. It is overloaded to the point that you can hardly see a truck below its cargo. Every year some of these tracks vanish with their human cargo in the unforgiven desert.
