The convoy pulls away from Doha as the city lights thin and the desert swells into a horizon of soft, rolling dunes. In a cool 4x4 you feel the vehicle climb and drop; the sand answers under the tires, shifting and reshaping with every gust. By twilight the dunes grow long shadows, camels silhouette against a low, copper sky and the Inland Sea (Khor Al Adaid) waits like a quiet inlet where ocean and desert meet.
