The Jeep slows to a stop on a wind-swept plain. Around you, sandstone ribs and granite towers crouch like ancient audience members; night slips in and the sky opens, brutally clear and pinpricked. Your guide sets a low fire, pours steaming tea, and starts naming the constellations the Bedouin used to read the desert. The hush of the dunes makes room for stories that map survival, routes, and the small human rituals that have kept people moving across this landscape for centuries.
