The sun has one last job to do before it drops below the desert horizon: paint the sand in hard, warm light. You step off a 4x4 at a high ridge, wind reshaping nearby ripples like an unseen hand, and the city’s glow fades until only the rim of the Red Sea and a spreading night remain.

Bring layers for nightfall
