Night drops quickly over the Sinai and the desert exhales a cool breeze as camels file across a low ridge. Visitors arrive by air-conditioned vehicle, dismount to ridge-top views of rugged, ochre mountains, then settle into a Bedouin camp where a fire pops and tea steams. As the sky darkens, a local astronomy guide sets up computerized telescopes and points out planets, constellations and faint smudges of the Milky Way daring you to track them.
