EGYPT: SECURE DESERT?

The question raises much speculation, considering that the lats events I wrote about pertained to the abductions that occurred in the desert.
The information in our possession, certainly reliable, confirms that the zone in which Fabio and I will cross is absolutely safe and sheltered from the possibility of crossing an unsafe band, like happened in the south, at the boarder of Libia and Sudan. However, I was told that this part of the desert is always considered a high risk because many bandits use this area to cross from one country to the other. The Oasis of Farafra, where we will depart, is 100 km away from where the abduction occurred, and even safer is the arrival location, El Barhein, farther to the north.
Therefore, Fabio and I confirm our intention to cross the desert, which is considered one of the more charming places in the Sahara and today one of the safest....inchallah!!!
