0:03
bathed in the golden h of the setting
0:06
Sahara Sun I found myself perched on the
0:10
lip of a freight wagon my body swaying
0:13
with the rhythmic Cadence of the train
0:16
do desert an iconic Behemoth of the
0:19
morania landscape the train stretches
0:22
over 2 kilometer and makes a daily
0:25
pilgrimage across 74 km of Sandy Plains
0:29
and load Dunes from the Atlantic coast
0:32
at noo to the iron or mines in
0:36
zoret the voyage across the Sahara isn't
0:40
for the fainthearted it is an
0:42
intoxicating dance of extremes the
0:45
unforgiving Desert Sun the grit stinging
0:49
your skin the booming and grinding of
0:52
the Colossal train that rates through
0:57
core it is a Relentless Journey of
1:00
contrasts yet it is a venture embarked
1:03
upon by Brave passengers and adventurous
1:06
Souls like my companion Mike and
1:10
I The Nostalgia of my parents Journey
1:13
aboard the train to Desert drew me back
1:16
to this Iron Giant as a child their tals
1:21
painted a canvas of endless Tunes
1:24
echoing The Emptiness of the Sahara at a
1:27
humble cargo wagon loaded with hopes and
1:30
dreams journeying Into the Heart of the
1:34
desert their only testimon to this
1:36
adventure was a single codex slide a
1:39
snapshot into a world that seemed far
1:42
removed from my own reality fast forward
1:46
several decades there we were Mike and I
1:49
sitting at top a freight wagon ready to
1:52
etch our own tail in the scense of the
1:56
Sahara we hope to relieve my parents jne
2:00
disembarking at the tiny settlement of
2:04
Chom and then venturing onto the ancient
2:09
chinti as a homage to my parents Spirit
2:13
we willingly exposed ourselves to the
2:15
elemental Symphony of heat wind and
2:19
noise embracing the austerity of our
2:22
open topped metal box our temporary
2:25
home navigating the journey ABA our
2:30
in noad Debo became our
2:35
Beacon he helped us protect our
2:37
belongings from the unavoidable sand and
2:39
dust and guided us to the best wagons
2:43
the journey from no ATO to the heart of
2:46
the Sahara wasn't just a physical
2:48
transition it was a cultural Voyage
2:51
throwing us into the complex ethnic
2:56
morania as the train chocked through the
2:59
night the human cargo sought refuge in
3:02
the wagon carers bundled in Barber robes
3:06
we attempted to sleep all the while
3:09
caught in the desert's chili embrace it
3:13
was in this surreal setting that the
3:16
Stark beauty of the desert under a star
3:21
itself I couldn't help but think of my
3:24
parents in a similar situation under the
3:27
same Sky four decades earlier our
3:31
arrival in ch was announced by a
3:34
symphony of sounds voices torch light
3:37
Wagon Wheels grinding against the tracks
3:40
we disembarked hastily loading our bags
3:44
into an old pure that would continue our
3:49
journey we disembarked hastily loading
3:52
our bags into an old pure that would
3:55
continue our journey in a matter of
3:58
seconds the f desert was a disappearing
4:01
silhouette against the expansive Desert
4:04
Sky leaving us in a cloud of dust and
4:08
Echoes nestled in a guest house in
4:11
shinui with the Whispers of dat Palms
4:15
overhead I found myself caught in the
4:18
dichotomy of being in the present yet
4:21
living a memory the sounds of the train
4:24
still echoed in my ears intermingling
4:27
with the memories of my parents just
4:29
Journey the ruins of chinti an emblem of
4:34
lost Grandeur seemed to mirror our train
4:37
ride a voyage that seemed more and more
4:41
ethereal with every passing day a
4:45
journey Pro Sahara might have ended but
4:47
the residue of that Unforgettable Voyage
4:50
lingered the iron ore dust that we
4:53
carried with us was more than just
4:56
physical remnants it was the embodiment
4:59
of a childhood dream fulfilled a voyage
5:02
self-discovery and a tangible link to my
