- Darb El Arba'īn (Arabic: درب الاربعين) (also called the Forty Days Road, for the number of days the journey was said to take in antiquity) is the easternmost of the great north-south Trans-Saharan trade routes. The Darb El Arba'īn route was used to move trade goods, livestock (camels, donkeys, cattle, horses) and slaves via a chain of oases from the interior of Africa to portage on the Nile River and thence to the rest of the world. The journey from what is now North Darfur, Sudan to what is now Asyut Governorate, Egypt is approximately 1,800 km (1,100 mi) and usually took closer to 60 days due to the need to rest and water the herd. Traveling by the desert route was more direct, less expensive and safer than the Nile route. The desert between the Yellow Nile riverbed in north Sudan and the limestone plateau of Middle Egypt receives average annual precipitation of less than 5 mm a year “and a frequency of 30 to 40 years between significant rainfall events, [meaning] it is very likely the driest region on earth.” The route is laid out so that water is always available within a two or three day’s journey and “no single waterless stage of the route exceeds 280 km.” Darb Al Arba’īn was the main north-south trade route in this part of Africa; a number of other transportation routes in the eastern Sahara went east-west, connecting the Nile settlements to the great oases of the Western Desert. The route is still extant, now used to drive camel herds to the camel meat markets in Egypt; cars and trucks on asphalt roads are used in addition to camels and donkeys traveling over sand and rock.
