More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The jeep pushes off like a heartbeat into an ocean of red sand. Wind scrapes across the windows, then opens; a spray of powder rises and the desert rearranges itself behind you. Your driver—also your Bedouin guide—steers between sculpted towers of sandstone, slows at a scatter of petroglyphs, and kills the engine so the silence can settle like a warm cloth. You step out to feel the desert’s scale: a horizon shaped by millennia of wind and rain, and rock bridges that look impossibly balanced against the sky.
