When the Jeep eases up onto the dune ridge 26 kilometers from Hurghada, the Red Sea chain hill swallows the sun and the desert exhales. Sand takes on a copper glow, windlines crossing the slopes like score marks, and the first long shadows point the way to a Bedouin camp where tea and a buffet await.
