Sands of the Desert North Africa

Résumé du livre

Sands of the Desert recounts the journey of Harry and Cathy Hickling as they travel across North Africa in their 1938 MG through Tunisia, Libya and Egypt during the 2009 Nile Trial. As they drive east across North Africa they visit ancient Roman and Greek ruins - such as Sabratha, Leptis Magna, Cyrene and Apollonia. Well away from normal tourist routes this book provides a unique account of these ancient sites and are brought to life with rich colour photos throughout the book. Further East, Harry and Cathy visit Tobruk and then travel across Egypt to the Red Sea. Their story of adventure not only brings to life the excitement and challenges of driving a pre-war car in the first classic car rally to venture through these countries, it also provides a remarkable insight into their history, culture and people, with every day scenes of life along the road. This book forms a lovely companion to Harry's earlier book, To Finish is to Win.
