More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Twilight pours across the eastern horizon as a fleet of jeeps kicks up bronze dust on the ride out of Hurghada. The Red Sea drops away to the east while the flat desert opens like a wide, breathing plain; dunes and low ridgelines hold the last heat of the day and then cool as the sun slips down. Guests find a candlelit Bedouin camp on a small prominence—an ideal vantage point for sunset and the long vault of stars.
