After a tiring camel ride, climb on top of a sand dune and watch the radiating sun illuminate the horizon: “I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams…” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.

7. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
