Drawings of the Exotic Desert Fantasy - Hot Sand Shrouded in Mystery

Illustrations of the exotic desert fantasy often include a city in the desert, an exotic palace, and/or vibrant colors. Clothing may also openly display wealth, either in their colors or in their metal ornaments. There’s something mysterious, yet alluring, about it. While the trope was originally labeled as a depiction of life in the Arabian peninsula, it eventually evolved into a fantasy of its own.

How would you depict life in a desert?
