The Jeep pulls off the narrow track and the engine drops to a sympathetic rumble. Sand rolls like a slow tide across the plain, and the first straight edges of red rock cliffs stand up from the desert as if someone arranged them overnight. Your guide—Bedouin, sure-footed with sun-darkened skin—points to a narrow canyon slot and hands you a steaming cup of tea. This is how Wadi Rum announces itself: spare, sudden, and enormous.
