Sand and sea meet in a sharp register here: dawn light slides along the Gulf of Aqaba and the road from Sharm El Sheikh unspools toward Dahab, where jagged limestone cliffs lean over glittering reefs. You step from an air-conditioned transfer onto warm, wind-scoured sand, then climb aboard a camel for a slow coastal glide toward the famed Blue Hole — a vertical sinkhole that seems to drink the horizon.
