In the Karkur Talh or “Acacia Valley” we enter the area of the Gebel Uwainat. Situated roughly at the centre of the aridest area, its height is sufficient to capture a little precipitation from the summer monsoon clouds of the Sahel belt that occasionally reaches this far north. These rains are very infrequent, the last one was recorded in September1998, and probably as much as 10-15 years may pass without rain. However, even this little rain is sufficient to allow some vegetation and wildlife in the larger valleys. Camping at the Desert.
This day is dedicated to the exploration of the area and its rock drawings. In the 1930s Winkler recorded the rock drawings here – the first prehistoric rock drawings ever found in this part of the Sahara.
