The sun leans low over red sands as a convoy of 1000cc buggies cuts a clean line across the dune slope. Sand sprays like pale confetti; the wind rearranges every crest while the buggy’s engine hums underfoot, coaxing riders over peaks and into shallow valleys. After thirty minutes behind the wheel, the landscape slows — camels amble at the edge of a low camp where lamps begin to glow.
