Minutes before a journey / Минуты до поездки

As the first light of dawn paints the Saharan dunes in warm hues, a camel caravan prepares for its trek. The guide, clad in traditional attire, walks ahead, leading the line of laden camels across the vast, undulating sands. The scene evokes a timeless rhythm of desert life, where nature and human endurance converge. Footprints mark the path, hinting at the journey ahead, while the silence is broken only by the soft crunch of sand underfoot. This is not just travel—it’s a ritual, a passage through one of Earth’s most majestic and unforgiving landscapes.
