Itinerary description

|
Show original
The final stage of my cycling trip to Egypt takes place from Cairo to the Baharia oasis, a 370-kilometer journey in the desert. When much earlier I was in Siwa I wanted to go directly to Bahrain via a road linking Bahrain-Siua, but that was impossible because they informed me that this road is closed for safety reasons. So I put this route in the end through Cairo. Of course the weather has cooled and the first day had drizzle a few moments with a windy wind. Also the night quite frozen.
