The day begins when a low sun slants across ochre dunes and the Jeep threads a ribbon of sand toward a Bedouin camp. You arrive as the light softens: camels step quietly, quads hum along crested ridges, and a circle of tents promises hot bread and music. Night in the desert is immediate — the temperature drops, the horizon opens, and the sky sharpens into a map of stars.
