The morning sun hits the red-rock cliffs above a narrow river and the valley answers with a string of clear pools daring you to stop. You arrive on a coastal road that trades mountain ridgelines for wind-thrashed dunes and salt-scented air; the day moves from shaded wadi to open sand with a steady, satisfying tempo.
