A long convoy of asphalt and sand unfolds as the Cairo skyline drops behind you and the Western Desert opens like a working map of bone and wind. By afternoon the Mediterranean’s cooling breath at Marsa Matrouh feels like a punctuation; by evening Siwa’s palms and salt-built houses appear low on the horizon.
