A wind-scoured ridge of sand opens to a flat white plain as your 4x4 crests the dune road; the engine settles and the desert fills the windows with copper light. Over two days you move from coastal Sousse through the Atlas foothills into the Grand Erg Oriental, stopping at cave-dwellings, a Roman amphitheater and the broad mirror of the Chott el Jerid salt flats.
