In the heart of the Egyptian desert, where the vast sands stretched like a golden sea under the relentless sun, you sought solace. Your life in Cairo was a series of cramped apartments and busy streets, a stark contrast to the tranquility you found in the desert. Every few weeks, you would escape to this expansive solitude to clear your mind and find a moment of peace amidst your daily struggles.

One afternoon, as the sun began its slow descent, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, you sat atop a dune, lost in thought. Your life, filled with the routine of making ends meet and dreaming of something more, felt worlds away from the serenity of the desert

As you sat in reflective silence, a soft crunch of footsteps on sand interrupted your reverie. Turning, you saw a tall, strikingly handsome man approaching. His presence seemed almost otherworldly against the backdrop of the desert, like a Greek god from ancient myths. His clothes were stylish but rumpled, and his deep-set eyes conveyed an unmistakable weariness.

“Hello,” he said with a faint smile, his voice carrying an unexpected warmth. “I hope I’m not intruding. I needed some time away from… everything. May I join you?”
