El Quess Abu Said Plateau

The plateau is a quick identifier to the location of the Farafra Oasis on
any map. Farafra is the dark spot in the middle of the image. The sand dunes on the right run in straight lines to the Dakhla plateau. A make shift WW2 small airplain landing strip is hidden
in these dunes. The dunes to the left of the plateau are the eastern edge of
the Great Sand Sea. Hidden in these dunes is Ein Dalla (Orienteering well), which was a very important stop for caravans as it's the only water source in the Great Sand Sea. A small border police force guards the well, as it's still an important gate to the Great Sand Sea. If you pass by you better have a permit :). The water from the well is so pure it taste weird. This is the only water source I know where the water is truly tasteless and odorless. Can you see the paved road crossing from north to south?
