The sun slides low over a wide ochre plain as your 4x4 threads a route between sheer sandstone walls; wind-sculpted ridges throw long shadows and the dunes dare your footsteps. Night brings a different sky—raw, glittering, and punctuated by the thump of distant Arabic music from the camp. This is Wadi Rum: a desert of cliffs, narrow gorges and quiet springs that demand attention.
