A low sun slides across the Agafay’s stony plain, gilding wind-sculpted rock and the backs of slow-moving camels as travelers file out of an air-conditioned van. The landscape is not Sahara sand but compacted, moonlike terrain that absorbs heat and returns a dry, mineral scent; light here reads like a map of ridges and hollows.
