Poor mans desert exploring - Gilf Kebir
Hi,
I have become really interested in the Gilf Kebir area while planing my trip to Cape Town next year, but the more i read the more I find it is out of reach for the budget of our trip and the fact we are on bikes.
As doing a tour is certainly out of our budget, is their any other way of exploring this area with maybe a local guide/jeep from one of the 'near' towns? (I am guessing that getting the correct paperwork and permits on our own is going to be one of the negatives towards this option if it was possible/advised)
Or
What could be a good alternative for us...Does anyone have any suggestions of a good route/areas in Western Egypt that maybe a bit more accesible for us to explore?
Thanks
Archie
...Or even is there anyone out there who woud let us tag along with their trip in March to share expenses of a tour maybe?
