We made it directly from Nema to Timbouctou, taking the route north of Lac Faguibine. Two weeks ago. It took four days in our two Toyota lanbdcruisers LJ70. Nema, Nbeiket Alhouach, Basriye, Timbouctou. One of the many smuglersroutes in this area, although we did not see any other traffic. The route was a bit disappointing, not very spectacular scenery. And many stories about bandits and Belouar (Algerian leader of GSPC). But we noticed nothing. Entry formalities in Timbouctou, in Nema Police and customs did not want to stamp our passport, so we left without stamps.
