I dont know if its just about old stories because they refer to the ancient mariner which is from the poem the rime of the ancient mariner and his whole crew dies while he is at sea because they have no water to drink and it becomes super hot and they die of dehydration. so i think thats what the sea of sand refers to.

The ancient mariner in this context is likely to refer to Sinbad. In Eastern tradition, Sinbad was a sailor, and not just an adventurer.
