Desert sand

We have taken a southerly route to the Middle East this time, across Europe down what was the Yugoslavian coastline before cutting across the Med to Egypt, the photo above is the view as we crossed the Egyptian coast. The desert comes down to the sea but it is still clear enough to get a reasonable photograph. A short while later the sand in the atmosphere meant that the ground was no longer visible. It may sound obvious but sand gets everywhere in the desert, it does not just lie around it blows about and gets into every gap and makes washing cars a daily task or one you just don't bother with at all.
