The sun drops behind a ribbed wall of sandstone and the desert exhales heat into cooler night air. You arrive from Sharm El-Sheikh as quads kick up ochre dust, camels cut slow silhouettes, and a low Bedouin chorus warms the evening. Over the next five hours the Sinai moves around you—thrumming engines, sand underfoot, and a dark sky that insists on being looked at.
