landscapes of sahara

i found out tonight that the desert is like the sea. controlled by the elements of nature. the wind drawing lines on its surface. the wind bringing the sand in a place and changing the landscape like a tide will. an immense space where you can be completely isolated, surrounded by nature and isolation.
