Reflections of a convoy
While waiting for my first dune bash to start. It was organised by one of the tour operators in Dubai, with a convoy of about 14 4x4s.

Sunrise over the Desert
Whether it's the deserts of Dubai, Syria, Jordan or Egypt, sunrise in the desert is a surreal experience. The stillness, the silence, the sun breaking through the sand all make up to something unforgettable.

Infinity in the palm of your hand ...
The amazingly fine sand of the desert, which is impossible to hold in your hand. This was taken in one of the deserts close to Dubai, as the sun was rising.
