I’ve always been captivated by the desert, a place of endless beauty and mystery. Two of my favorite books, *The Alchemist* and *The Little Prince*, unfold their tales amidst these vast landscapes.
From Morocco to Jordan, Mauritania, and now Algeria, I’ve witnessed the desert’s serene power and splendor. In Algeria, the journey begins uniquely with a police escort from the airport, a reminder of the unique experiences each country offers.
“The desert is beautiful,” the little prince added, and it truly is. Sitting on a sand dune, one feels so small, surrounded by silence and vastness, yet the sky above glows with unmatched beauty. It’s a humbling experience, making you realize how small you are in the grand tapestry of life.
As *The Alchemist* reminds us, “Everyone has his or her own way of learning things,” and the desert, with its diverse landscapes, teaches us in its own silent way.
What have your desert experiences been like? Do you have a favorite memory or place?
