The vast, rugged landscape unfolds before me. The rocks here, though not as famous as the Elephant Rock or Mushroom Rock, possess their own quiet majesty. The land is dotted with massive outcrops of volcanic rock—jagged formations from past lava flows. These rocks appear as dark, weathered monoliths, some smooth and others craggy, as though they've been shaped by time and elements into unusual, almost abstract shapes. The natural beauty here feels raw and untouched, with the lava formations blending seamlessly into the desert's deep sand.

$The Nubian pyramids were built by the rulers of the ancient Kushite kingdoms. The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia, which lies within the north of present-day Sudan, was the site of three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity. The capital of the first was at Kerma (2500–1500 BCE). The second was centered on Napata (1000–300 BCE). The third kingdom was centered on Meroë (300 BCE-AD 300). The pyramids are built of granite and sandstone.\n\nHeavily influenced by the Egyptians, Nubian kings built their own pyramids 1000 years after Egyptian burial methods had changed.[1] In Nubia, pyramids were built for the first time at El Kurru in 751 BC.[2] The Nubian-style pyramids emulated a form of Egyptian private elite family pyramid that was common during the New Kingdom.[3] There are twice as many Nubian pyramids still standing today as there are Egyptian.[1] Forty of the pyramids were partially demolished by an Italian treasure hunter, Giuseppe Ferlini, in the 1830s.[4] The Nubian pyramids are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[5]$

It was a chilly morning but we woke up super early to wait for sunrise at Meroe desert in Sudan. It was worth it indeed. Unfortunately sun didn't show up from behind pyramids but from behind mountain, which is the opposite of pyramids but the sun light beams against pyramids. How mystical.
