It was a cloudy day when we decided to gather our things and camp in desert. We were four men, so we divided everything between us to provide food, water and other supplies. I was the one who has to bring the camera, tent and the camping tools. We choose a spot which was far from any connections.
The four men were me, my cousin Ahmed, and the other two were friends of us, Juma and Mohammed. Juma and Mohammed were the two who brought the foods and drinks. But the flash lights, woods and matches. We all went there by one car, and arrived there at the sun set. So Ahmed hurried up to light up the woods as the temperature was low. Mohammed and Juma helped me to fix the tent, and to move our stuff inside it.
We gathered around the fire, and cooked our dinner which was rice and meat sticks. The dinner was so delicious, that we needed to drink some coffee to focus and chit-chat little bit before we went to sleep. However, the temperature kept falling and the wind started to blow faster and faster. And the place was even darker, no stars no moon. We started to freak out when we saw the first drops of the rain. It starts to rain so hard, we couldn’t do anything; even we couldn’t start the car engine as the sand had become a heavy mud. And the car might get stuck but we didn’t want that to happen. We just stayed in the car waiting and hoping the weather to calm down. The clouds kept raining till the sunrise; unfortunately all of our stuff were damaged and covered with mud. And the tent has flown away.
Finally, that day was really scary, but the good thing that we all were safe. It was a hard lesson for us. So next time we have to make sure if the weather is stable or not.
