By daylight the valley walls of Wadi Rum stand like ancient pages—red, ochre and rust—holding the quiet of millennia. At dusk the desert exhales: temperatures fall, shadows lengthen along steep sandstone faces, and a full moon edges up the horizon to wash the valley in silver. On this multi-day trek travelers walk where Bedouin caravans once threaded, sleeping under a sky that seems to have been cleared of everything but stars and memory.
