TUNING INTO DUNES
Moroccan Rachid El Morabity, seen here, has six
MDS titles to his name. Others are less at home in
the desert but find it beguiling: Zandy Mangold says:
“I live in a city [NYC] which is a never-ending assault
on the senses. The desert is the opposite. I revel in
the quiet and natural sounds. I can speak without
raising my voice and effortlessly listen to others. The
horizons are unobstructed and easy on the eyes.”
