CANCELLED / Afternoon Fewbie Desert Drive - The Desert Books' Series: "The Sheltering Sky" (Pink Rock to Bezhad Ranch) - Sharjah - 20 Jun 2025

Level:  Fewbie and above

Meeting time:  CANCELLED

Meeting Point: 

Action Plan:  Third installment of the desert books' series, dedicated to a book turned into Golden Globe and BAFTA's winning movie, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. In the Sheltering Sky, bohemian American couple Port and Kit Moresby, in the hopes of rekindling their marriage, set off for North Africa in 1947, intending to travel through Algeria in search of renewal and personal inspiration. They are instead tested to their limits by the emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert.

Still trying to distil the best of the book, and to build up to the day of the drive, I'll post a book's quote each day. 

Let's try to find inspiration in this Desert Books' Series to truly appreciate our interaction with our favorite element of nature. 

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face masks, rubber gloves, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time:

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.
