The Sahara. Hot, cold, dry. "Perfect" for a 7-day bikepacking tour. By bike through the Sahara. From Morocco through the Western Sahara to Mauritania. With the "Iron Train" we take a forbidden train ride into the desert and all the way back by bike. 1000 km, 7 days, 2 riders. Fully packed with sleeping bag and tent. That's Desert Gravel. ► ???? Competition: • Gravel bike: ROSE Backroad to get ► ???????? My bike: https://tidd.ly/3o0peDp This trip will be a journey into the unknown. A culture shock, a borderline experience. It's about the spirit of adventure, the will and morale of the team. But also about rough nature, never-ending stages and a minimum of comfort. Bikepacking at its finest. We're flying to Ad-Dakhla. From there we drive through "No-Man's Land" across one of the most dangerous borders in the world to Nouadhibou. From there we use the "Iron Train", the longest train in the world, to get to the Sahara Desert. Many locals use the train to transport goods from the fishing village of Nouadhibou to the mining town of Zouerat and back. With a length of almost 2.5 km, Mauritania's iron trains are among the longest in the world. Your journey covers a total distance of 652 km between Zouerat - the largest city in the north of the country, known for its iron ore mining - and the port city of Nouadhibou in the west. Let's go on an unforgettable bikepacking tour. ► ???????? https://maha-studio.notion.site/Meine... #Bikepacking #Sahara #Radreise ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm Basti, I like to experience adventures, face challenges and love being out in the mountains.
