The jeep drops you at a low ridge of sand as late afternoon thins; wind reshapes the dunes and the horizon pulls the sun into a slow plunge. Camels pace like patient ships, and the guide directs the caravan toward a private sweep of soft sand where no other footprints mar the slope. Tea steams beside a small fire while the sky deepens to copper and indigo.
