Iraqi Desert

Al Anbar Province's roads are without question are in the worst condition of the country. Constant road side bomb detinations and muhajadeen digging up the asphalt everywhere to plant mines and bombs makes the Al Anbar highways extremely unsafe for the curious traveller. Even lone trucks wait at the borders until there are enough of them to make the drive to where the various trucks must go. The idea is there is safety in numbers, if one truck is hit, at least the others could stop to help.
