The night came to an end and at sunrise it was another beautiful moment in the desert. The early morning sun filled the whole landscape with a bright shine that made the sand sparkle abosolute white!

We were simply thrilled at the sight of the dunes at sunrise. The temperature started warming, but it was still pretty cold.

After having breakfast of Bread, butter, jam, boiled eggs, fruits which the camel drivers prepared for us, it was time to return back to the rendezvous. The picture captures the moment.

On our return journey, we stopped at a village to get some ration for the camels while they had a drink at the common pool. notice the fair camels on the right side without any saddles on them. They are wild camels who often visit the pool to have a drink. As the journey came to an end and we could see the rendezvous point, one of the wild camels whose group had been following our's for quite some time decided to introduce itself. It was then that we discovered that this bold individual was in fact a female and was probably on the lookout for a mate since it was the mating season then. Notice a baby camel in the background. It was a part of the same wild group.
