The jeep crunches across iron-red sand as the sun lowers, casting long shadows from the sculpted rock faces. In two hours a small-group driver-guide threads a route through narrow canyons and open valleys, stopping at moss-green springs, a dramatic little natural bridge and a broad dune that looks over the plain.
