You step from the air‑conditioned minivan into a wash of ochre light — Wadi Rum’s sandstone towers throwing long, slow shadows across red sand. The jeep rumbles off and the desert answers, rock faces daring you to look closer. By night a Bedouin camp offers low tents, lamb stew, and a ceiling of stars.
