A low sun slices across rippled dunes as a line of camels eases over a crest — the animal’s slow, rocking gait sets a quiet rhythm that makes the desert feel older than time. You climb into the saddle and the coastal city of Hurghada slips behind you; the horizon is a long, dry plane of wind-sculpted sand and sudden rocky outcrops.
