There is a good single lane tarmac road right the way to the fort at the Western Saharan side of the border. Its in good condition, we bombed down in at 80mph its not a problem. Once at the border "area" you have a 7km crossing through softsand with limited ability to move about because of the risk of landmines.
Your two key problems would be bottoming out and on the beach section, getting unstuck quickly. On alot of the ground down through the parc, its fairly flat, soft sand patches but not that big a problem. However once on the beach, if you get stuck, you have a very short period of time to get the vehicle free again (ie maybe 4 hours?) With a 4x4 there are other vehicles going past that could pull One lose, with a bus, there will be limited help available. Definitely need sandladders (plenty of them - ie not just 2 - overland trucks have about 10). Also need shovels. Ideally want to be travelling with a truck. However I disagree with previous comments that its not possible, I think it probably is. But then I have only driven a LR110 over it and not a bus so maybe I'm wrong.
