The jeep’s engine murmurs, then settles as the vehicle climbs a sun-baked track and the red desert opens like a page in a history book. By midafternoon the convoy eases into the shade of a narrow canyon; wind and time have carved inscriptions into the walls and the guide points them out between sips of sweet Bedouin tea. As dusk arrives, lanterns and an open fire mark the camp—stars unroll in a deep, unpinned sky that seems to press close enough to touch.
