You step out of the vehicle and the desert meets you like a living thing—wind sketching dunes, sandstone walls radiating heat and color. On day one a Bedouin driver takes you into Wadi Rum in a 4x4, the jeep chugging over washes as you visit Lawrence Spring, Nabatean ruins and rock bridges while the desert narrows and then opens again.
