🌍 The shock of the North African desert: the poetry and vastness of the Sahara
Standing in the Sahara Desert of Morocco, the wind blows the fine sand across the fingertips.
Suddenly I understood the romance of "Every time I thought of you, a grain of sand fell from the sky, and the Sahara was formed" - this is not a monotonous desolation, but an ocean of sand soaked by time and emotion.
Coming to the North African desert,
Prophet The Egyptian desert could not match its vastness and depth,
Every sand dune hides a story.
Every ray of starlight speaks of eternity.
