This post is a quick update–I’m leaving Luxor for the Western Desert early tomorrow morning. I’ll be doing a circuit of  the major oases: Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Bahariya, and Siwa. There will be dunes, there will be palm trees, there will be camping out under the crescent moon…it will be many layers of awesome.

I don’t expect to have much (if any) access to the internet while I’m out there, so I will probably be conspicuously absent from this blog space for the next ten days or so.
