Vanishing City

Location: Desert, Saudi Arabia
Hand Drawings by Karla Montauti

In the heart of the endless desert, there exists a city of gold that rises and falls with the wind. Its towers gleam like stars in the daylight, shimmering just beyond the horizon, only to vanish when the sun sets. No traveler can find it twice, for it slips through the cracks of time, existing only in moments. Those who wander its streets speak of rooms filled with warmth and silence, of windows that open to landscapes that are never the same. Some say it is not the city that disappears, but the world around it, forever shifting in and out of sight. And in its wake, nothing remains but the memory of its glow.
