fuel in WS outside N1
 

Hello,
I am planning a crossing of WS, from Smara to RIM border. Is anyone of you have information about fuel availability outside of N1 (i.e. Bou Craa, Gueltat Zemmour, Bir Anzarane, Aousserd,...)?
Thanks!
Guillaume

Bou Craa - spotted something like a fuel station, but looked deserted/not operational to me (spring 2014)
Bir Anzarane - no fuel station for general use (spring 2014)
Awsard - working fuel station with both petrol and diesel (spring 2017)

any chance to buy fuel from bottles in Bir Anzarane?
Thanks
Guillaume

From 2012 to 2014 I visited place numerous times but I saw only a strong army base and from time to time, when the area around was green, Saharawi tents.

The commanding officer and other military guys there were extremely hospitable. We even played cards in their off-duty time ...


But for the fuel ... there was none to buy officially. I always carried a fair amount of reserves.
That said, it is always possible to get/buy fuel from the army, they will gladly help you, but relying on them in advance to supply you with fuel is not the right thing to do.
