The low sun throws long, warm blades of light across sand and sea as you mount up on the edge of Hurghada. Horses pick their way from wind-sculpted desert into a flat ribbon of beach; behind you, ochre dunes give way to the broad blue of the Red Sea. For an hour or two the world narrows to the rhythm of hooves and the hiss of surf.
