Stargazing in the Sahara Desert

Away from city lights, the night sky is a blanket of stars. The Milky Way stretches like a glowing river, and I lie on the sand, pointing out constellations. A shooting star streaks by, and I make a wish. The desert air is cool, and I hear the distant howl of a fox. This isn’t just looking up—it’s feeling small but happy, part of something bigger than myself.​
