We woke up at 5:30 to hike for about 45 minutes up large sand dunes on the edge of the Sahara to watch the sun rise. Words can't describe how incredible it was, so I'll try to do it with pictures.
You can't feel the cold sand filling your shoes. You can't breathe the fresh, crisp air of the Sahara at dawn. You can't see a panoramic view of rolling dunes and lights from not so distant cities. You can't embrace the complete silence that is so rare today when outside. You can't feel the warmth of the sun on your skin while your face feels like it's defrosting. But now that I've described to you what you can't feel, hopefully you'll be able to appreciate every other sensation felt by my friends and I as we sat and watched the sun rise over the Sahara.
(By the way, just click on the pictures to enlarge them. They're better that way anyways.)
