At 10 am, we packed up our belongings, cherishing the memories created amidst the desert's vastness. Before departing, we treated ourselves to a delectable breakfast of Basbousa, a sweet, syrup-soaked semolina cake, accompanied by the traditional Arabic coffee known as "Qahwa" or "Gahwa." The delightful combination of flavours provided the perfect start to our day.
