Sudan, Nubian desert, a fantastic trip on land: The magic valley and the graffiti of Nurajet

The idea of this short trip has come from a PDF received from an archaeologist friend, Alexandros Tsakos: a report of the “crossing” performed in 1999 by Krzysztof Pluskota, polish archaeologist, and Arita Baaijens, writer and traveller. They’ve left from Khartoum with 3 dromedaries along a 500 Km. path that really, bypassing the mountain chains and looking for freshwater wells to water the dromedaries, turned into 900 Km. It took them six weeks to get to the Red Sea shores. One day, accidentally, while the dromedaries were grazing in a valley nearby one of these wells, called by the local population “bir”, the two travellers on the way back, patrolling the landscape onside, discovered several graffiti of great interest. Here’s where my wish to reach the area originates, departing from the opposite side, from where they’ve arrived, that is from Dungonab and carry out a part of the trip, definitely shorter, backwards.
