A wind that smells faintly of metal and salt pushes across the desert as the jeep drops its last wheel tracks in the sand. The vehicle eases to a stop beneath a squat red dune and the world opens: ribbed sand, sheer sandstone walls, and a sky so wide it feels like a roof you could push up with your hands.
