The sun slants low over ochre dunes as hooves cut a path toward the Red Sea. Salt air pushes forward and the desert seems to breathe — the guide in front sets the pace, the horses answer, and within thirty minutes the sand gives way to a narrow beach where you can ride into shallow water and let the sea try to cool both you and the horse.
