The sun carves the desert into gold and shadow as your jeep eases out of the Rum Village car park and onto red sand that seems to have a life of its own. Wind-polished towers rise like folded pages of a giant atlas; the driver lifts a hand toward a narrow slit in the cliffs and the vehicle threads through—today the desert decides the pace.
