The
Sahara Desert
"The Sahara is priest, mage, and confessor, a
place
so purely itself, we can finally see ourselves clearly."
- William McBride
Sahara: the
greatest desert in the world, rending Africa in two, with its endless
mountains of sand, dunes that stretch beyond the imagination. Evenings
of such clarity one can see the literal dome of the earth, and fall
asleep counting the innumerable stars - one forgets how many there are.
This is the land of camels, and nomads, of ancient songs and the great
winds.
The Sahara is a challenge, not easily
reached, but richly rewarding those who make the journey. To get there,
one travels along ancient river routes, lined with oases, blooming,
green lifelines that extend like veins into the heart of the desert.
Along these ancient paths are constructed the ksar and kasbahs,
mudbrick fortresses and towns that rise mysteriously out of the very
earth, only to return, in time, like melting sandcastles.
Most famous of these is the Draa Valley, the land of a thousand
kasbahs, starting point for trans-Saharan camel routes of old, when
tens of thousands of camels would make the perilous, many-months
journey across the sands to bring back treasures from the East.
