The Jeep crests a low, rust-colored ridge as the sun drops; wind scrapes sand across the scrub and camels melt into long silhouettes. You stand on cool rock while a Bedouin guide pours herbal tea and the air shifts from warm to crisp. After a short camel photo stop and a communal barbecue by lantern light, a professional astronomer settles a powerful MAEDA telescope on the sand and points you toward Saturn, Jupiter and distant star clusters.
