Question: If you have seen mirage what did you see? On holiday in Egypt we were crossing Sahara in a coach and our guide asked if we'd seen mirage? I was spitting mad because I had been asleep and missed this phenomenon!!

Answer: A mirage is a naturally-occurring optical phenomenon, in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky Like a mirror, a mirage shows images of things which are elsewhere. The principal physical cause of a mirage, however, is refraction rather than reflection. A highway mirage (asphalt mirage, hot road mirage or road mirage) is an inferior mirage seen on roadways almost every day and night.
