In Salah sounds like a real bedtime story. A sand dune is creeping over the town, cutting it in two halves. While it slowly eats up buildings at one end (it takes 10- 20 years to cover one house), a house is uncovered at the other. As soon as a house is left in the open after half a century under sand, the grand children of the original owner takes the effort to bring the house back to good condition, and then they move in. Hopefully after moving out of a house on the advancing side of the sand dune.
In Salah is a very nice red Sudanese style oasis out here in the middle of Sahara.
