The sun has already begun its slow descent when the minivan drops you at the riverbank and a motorboat shuttles the small group across the Nile. On the west bank, the sand takes on a warm bronze glow; wind-swept ridges and scrubby foothills of the Theban Plateau watch like quiet sentries. A line of simple ATVs waits, engines ticking as guides run through safety basics before sending riders out toward Wadi Ziad.
