The jeep rumbles away from the tiny cluster of houses at Wadi Rum Village and the desert immediately takes command. Sand stretches like a warm ocean, punctuated by vertical slabs of sandstone that tilt and split with the slow patience of millennia. Inside the open-backed vehicle you feel the sun on your shoulders and the wind tasting of iron and dust; the guide taps the accelerator and the landscape reshapes itself — dunes, narrow canyons, natural arches — each turn offering a new frame for the camera.
