D is for Desert Safari. Dubai, 2019. The drive to the desert was a long and toasty one. Despite having the AC on full-blast, the afternoon heat seeped into the 4x4, creating a drowsy, lazy atmosphere. I watched the scenery zoom past me like a moving picture. After the city, it was highway after highway flanked by occasional buildings and long stretches of tangerine sand. Eventually, the buildings tapered off until it was nothing but open road. A brief stop by the roadway, then a glide on the sand. There was time for a quick photo session. "You can take off your shoes!" Our driver said kindly. I toe-heeled one shoe off, dipped my toes into the softest, most powdery sand, fully expecting heat or a mild burn. But the sand was cold, and everything the sun touched was gold. #dubai #desertsafari #dunebashing #dubaidesertsafari https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yX_M1H7m3/?igshid=thf6oklhp43k
