A low sun slices the desert horizon as riders mount up — hooves and padded camel feet stirring sand that keeps a memory of the Red Sea’s salt. For three hours you’ll move between two elements: the open, powder-gold dunes and the shallow, glittering edge of the Red Sea where guides steer mounts into cooling surf. The air here tastes of salt and warm mineral dust; the coast dares you to feel both worlds at once.
