The great desert
No Expiration
Tunis Adventurer's Guild
It's quite obvious that the terrain around here is desert. The same desert stretches as far as Alexandria to the east and Arguin to the west. No larger desert has yet been found. I'd like to again request you to survey this desert. You should be able to find out something by asking the residents of Algiers. I'm counting on you.

1. People who cross the desert
The thing is, no one has ever really checked to see just how large this desert is. But, the people that trade in the desert travel farther than you could ever imagine. They come through here pretty often actually. There might be someone that knows them at the Rest Area.

2. Vertical trade route
I talk to those guys all the time here. If you need to do trade with central Africa you could take the sea routes but there is also a trade route that crosses the desert. But let me tell you, it's not an easy journey. It's probably impossible unless you get yourself one of those animals, don't you think?

3. Trade route made possible by camels
Definitely. Those things can close their nose shut so that sand doesn't get in there and they store water in their body so they don't get dehydrated. Do you know what I'm talking about? Camels of course! Unfortunately, humans aren't as rugged as they are. We go down at the slightest mishap! But, even still there's a lot to be gained from trading if you can handle it...

4. Trade item equal to gold
The primary trade good from central Africa is gold. Everybody wants gold. If you want to take something from here and exchange it for gold, it better be something good. You want to know what trade good I'm talking about... Hey, you must be thirsty. How about we talk about it over a nice cold one?

5. Trade of salt and gold
So, what do you think that trade good is? I'll tell ya... salt! The central part of Africa was running low on salt. But around here we can get salt from the ocean. Think about it, we're exchanging salt for gold. The profits are huge. Basically, what I'm trying to tell you is that there's a real good reason people want to cross that desert so badly.

6. Land of sand
The northern part of the African continent is covered by one of the biggest deserts in the world. People have been living there for ages and there was much trading done there. I should land at the port west of Algiers and assess that desert for more information.

The Sahara 4 ★★ (Geography) Exp:220 Fame:110
An expansive desert that covers the northern portion of the African continent. In Arabic, it means rough land. Pottery has been unearthed in many locations so we can see that people have been living here in the desert since ancient times. Caravans using camels promoted trade throughout the desert.
This quest stays the same. But instead of using observe in the North African land, You will move south to move to another passage which leads to the Great Desert "Al Sahara Al Kubra"...
