Magdy overlooking the Sahara desert - Original Egypt photography

in #photography7 years ago

This is Magdy, taking a break, taking in the magnificent view of the desert. He is local Bedouin who was our guide on our voyage across the Sahara desert in a 4x4. I will never forget this trip or Magdy, a quiet but very nice man. We loaded intohis off-road vehicle and headed out on a 3 day journey through the Sahara Desert. This picture was a mile or 2 before we left the highway 4 hours from Cairo and spent the day diving over the sand, only seeing people once at an oasis.

This was the most amazing trip I have ever been on: camping on mats under the stars without anyone around besides the 3 of us. No lights, sounds... no anything. Just the gentle wind and open skies.

Really amazing! I guess you visited the Pyramids as well. Egypt hides a lot of incredible things!

Thanks!, yeah we did the pyramids both visits, though on my 2nd trip to them I really didn't even pay attention much. Once you've seen them, you've seen them ;) Exploring the desert and sleeping under the stars was way more memorable.
