The magic of sunrise and sunset goes somewhere beyond description. Any words we may use cannot quite do justice to a beast so changeable, so evocative, so mesmerising. These twelve spectacular sunrises go somewhere towards illustrating the sheer variety and beauty of dawn. While our culture, our language, our hometown may differ, we can all bask in the glorious serenity of daybreak.

Sunrise Beach, Florida
When considering the world's most beautiful sunrises, it would surely be remiss not to mention a beach named after them. Early morning on Sunrise Beach is like a still from the most glamorous Hollywood film. This time of day is just as it ought to be: magical, beautiful, charming and enchanting.

Sunrises have a precious symbolism. From the Egyptians, who believed sunrise hailed the rebirth of Ra to old proverbs claiming that a red sky at morning means a warning of bad weather. The sun and its emergence has forever shone at the centre of myths, legends, and religions: the dawn of a new day, a new beginning, and a new opportunity to follow a dream and reach for the sky. It's the last thing you see before going to bed after a night of decadence, and the first thing you see when you wake up before a day of diligence.
