The sun leans toward the horizon and the Red Sea desert exhales heat that makes the sand shimmer like slow metal. You arrive by air-conditioned van, switch to a rumbling 4x4, and the grid of Hurghada falls away — only wind-scoured tracks, low ridges and a scattering of acacia bushes remain. A short camel ride and a quick climb to a little rise set the scene: the sun sinks, the temperature drops, and a barbecue starts to scent the air.
