Desolate Luxor Desert: Lone Figure in Sand

Photorealistic desert landscape in Luxor, Egypt at golden hour. Endless wind-swept dunes of warm gold and amber stretch to a hazy horizon under a clear blue sky. In the mid-ground a solitary figure wearing a light white linen robe and a headscarf stands with a staff, gazing toward the faint silhouettes of ancient temple pylons emerging from the distance. A partially buried limestone wall with weathered hieroglyphs occupies the foreground left, adding a sense of ancient history. Heat haze curls above the sands; wind-carved ripple textures across the surface. The Nile glints far to the right on the horizon. The mood is desolate, meditative and timeless, rendered in cinematic realism with a 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, volumetric light, and a warm palette of ochre, saffron, and burnt umber contrasted with cool blue shadows.
