Sahara Sunrise

After a breathtaking evening in the Sahara, it was easy to convince us to witness the sunrise. As such, we got up at 7:45 for an 8:00 sunrise. Although it was cold and difficult to drag yourself out of bed, it was well worth it. We walked the sand dunes and found a perfect little spot to watch the reverse of what we had seen yesterday. I would say it wasn't as nice as the previous evening, just because the colours weren't as spectacular. I'm not quite sure why, but it didn't have the same effect. Don't get me wrong, it was still incredible but not quite as breathtaking. We had a guide join us for the sunrise, and as is typical for them, they love to get some photos of you doing some strange poses. Although i just wanted a regular photo, it is too difficult to say no. After this, we had our breakfast and packed the bus to head to our next destination, the Rose Valley. Today was basically a travel day, but we did have some nice stops along the way. A couple of valley towns mostly. One was particularly extravagant in its grandure. A road lay at the bottom of the canyon, with enourmas, vertical cliffs on either side. We went for a walk through it while we waited for lunch. We then continued our journey, taking the rest of the afternoon. As such, we arrived quite late and essentially just ate and went to bed. It was a cruisy yet somehow still tiring day.Read more
