A low sun gilds the rows of date palms as your camel pads out from the palm grove’s shaded lanes, the city’s red roofs shrinking behind you. The animal’s steady sway sets a slow rhythm; palms lean in as if to watch you pass. Small dirt tracks thread between clumps of date palms and scrub, and the town’s distant call to prayer punctuates the late-afternoon air.
