The jeep drops you where asphalt thins and wind begins to rearrange sand—an open bowl of desert framed by the low Red Sea mountains. As the sun slides toward the western ridge, camels pick their slow steps and the group spreads on woven carpets; the horizon burns a thin seam of orange before deepening to a navy sky.
