Cold air sits near the desert floor (often during the rapid cooling of dawn), while a layer of significantly warmer air rests above it.

The Mirage of Is-Ai-Dub: Exploring the Enigma of the Desert’s Great Illusion
The term "isaidub" has entered the modern lexicon as a metaphor for the unattainable—a goal that looks tangible but vanishes upon approach. In recent years, high-tech expeditions equipped with LIDAR and thermal imaging have attempted to locate the physical ruins that might be the "source" image for the mirage. While no city has been found, these teams have discovered unique geological formations that, when refracted through the desert's heat, perfectly mimic the silhouettes of high-rise buildings and ancient temples.
