The sun hangs low over stony plains as you push off the dune’s edge on a dromedary, leather creak and guide’s steady voice marking the rhythm. Minutes later, the quiet of the Agafay opens into a patchwork of rock and scrub where quads carve tracks across compacted clay and shale, throwing up a dry taste of dust that the wind quickly steals away.
