The sun tilts low over the Red Sea plain and the desert takes on a copper breath as a convoy of jeeps and car buggies leaves Hurghada. Headlights pick out ribbed dunes; wind-sanded peaks seem to shift as you approach a Bedouin tent where the air tastes faintly of tea and burning resin. A camel's silhouette pauses against the horizon while drums and an oriental show gather the night.
