The sun slips below the horizon and the dunes go from pale gold to a band of cooling shadow. Engines hum as an air-conditioned 4x4 climbs a near-vertical dune, then drops you into a bowl of sand where the stars begin to stake their claim. Night in the Qatari desert is immediate — cooler air, crisp silhouettes and the hush that only an expanse of sand can give.
