An evening on the dunes

On the dunes, Erg Chebbi, the Sahara
Erg Chebbi is Morocco's great sea of sand, near Merzouga at the edge of the Sahara, with dunes that rise far above the camps at their foot. An evening here is planned around the light: the walk or the camel ride to a crest in the late afternoon, the sunset itself, then dinner at a camp among the dunes. Spring and autumn are the gentlest seasons; summer afternoons are very hot and winter nights are cold. Any ceremony is symbolic, in your own words: the legal part is done at home.
What the evening could be
Late afternoon
The camels wait at the edge of the sand.
The walk to the crest goes at the pace of the light.

Sunset
The dunes go from gold to red, then rose.
Your words, or your question, while the sun goes down.

After dark
Down to a camp among the dunes for dinner.
Lanterns, a fire, and a sky with no town light in it.
