 A real adventure riding track in Nortwest Africa is the Iron Ore Track following the famous Iron Ore Train in Mauritania. Trains on this railway are among the largest and heaviest in this world leading through a part of the largest hot desert on earth - the Sahara.
The track follows the railway for around 450km (280mi). There isn't really a road for very long stretches and one has to ride through deep sand.
It also passes the second biggest monolith on earth (Ben Amera). That's the one you can see in the background of this photo.
