Roaming the deserts of Egypt & Jordan
Suddenly the desert is calling out to me again…
The vast sand, endless desert, miles n miles of nothingness extreme heat in the day, extreme cold at nitesleeping under the stars, they’r so close that u feel u could grab them in ur palms.
I close my eyes, and I breathe the sand and feel the dryness in the air again.
Entering the Bahariya Oasis of the Western Desert, Egyptyou could see many women, esp in villages, all wrapped up in their Muslim dresses
