More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The first gust of desert wind strips the city's hum and replaces it with a wide, whispering landscape of red-gold dunes. You feel the SUV climb and fall like a roller coaster, sand pushing the vehicle forward as the sun slices the horizon. By sunset the dunes soften to ochre; the Majlis Camp lights up, smoke from charcoal grills rising alongside the scent of cardamom coffee.
