Sorry POA but I was being a little sarcastic about sand on the road, just after Atbara in Sudan there is no road to have sand on, it is just sand, The desert has quite a lot of tyre tracks but bassically you ride where ever you want to as long as you keep the marker posts, (yellow and every km) in sight or the telegraph poles of the railway line, but there is no actual road just lots and lots of sand.
I've been on the Isiolo/Moyale road a few times and always been warned of the danger but never experienced anything, last time there was just me and a German chap on bikes and apart from the volcanic roack eating my front tyre we had no problems at all.
