Collection: pawelwolf.pawelwolf
Description: The Western Desert between the Second and Third Cataracts is nowadays almost deserted and devoid of vegetation. The mountains are covered by sand dunes, some of which are very high. The photo was taken on a joint tour with Derek Welsby and Bill Adams, on which we visited the sites where Bill Adams had excavated in the 1960s.
