Descriptive Writing: A beautiful landscape or natural scene which has stuck in your memory.

The Ka'bah

I finally arrived at my abode. I was not aware of this previously, but now I was most definitely sure this was the moment I had been waiting for, ever since I read about this wonderful place, eight years ago. There I stood, in the scorching summer of Saudi Arabia. It was baking. The air steamed around me. Everything I laid my greasy hands on sent a burning sensation through me. The heat was oppressive and stifling. I would have done anything for just a single sip of water. I felt a breeze of sand rushing across my face and body as I scratched my torrid, sweaty arm. The burning sand covered me, like boiling water in a hot shower.

The night was a black velvet curtain, cloudless. Despite the departure of the dazzling sun from the endless sky, the blistering heat resulted in me becoming dehydrated and delirious. Salt began to seep from my fingers, as I stepped on the sunbaked earth. Fluorescent feathered pigeons whooshed passed my fiery face at the speed of light. The atmosphere was extremely sticky.
