More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dusk slides across the Red Sea mountains and the desert exhales heat that cools into a clean, bone-dry night. Your jeep climbs a ridgeline, tires chewing gravel, and the sun drops behind a silhouette of low volcanic hills. At the camp, a campfire sparks; tea steams in small glasses while a powerful telescope tilts toward the widening sky.
