Late afternoon light flattens the sand and the Jeep's engine hums like a careful companion as you leave Hurghada's coastal strip behind. The first hills rise in copper ridges; the wind sketches patterns across the dunes and the desert seems to breathe around you. By the time you climb to a lookout, the sun pushes gold along the horizon and the landscape goes quiet.
