The sky is still indigo when you mount an Arabian horse or climb onto a camel’s padded back. Cold air brushes past; the Red Sea to your right glints as the sun edges up, and dunes to your left take on clean, hard shadows. In two hours you move between salt-warmed shore and wind-sculpted sand, led by guides who read the terrain as naturally as breathing.
