The engine coughs once, then the open-backed jeep surges forward and the desert swallows the road. Red dunes roll off like a slow sea, punctuated by sculpted towers of sandstone that lean against the sky. You feel the jeep push and bounce—sand seizing the tires, then giving—while a local Bedouin guide calls out names of rock bridges, springs and canyons as if reading a map of memory.
