The sun leans low and throws the red dunes of Al Lahbab into long, hard shadows as your 4x4 climbs a wind-sculpted ridge. Sand hisses under tyres, the vehicle pitches and slides—adrenaline in short, sharp pulses—then pauses for a sunset that paints the desert iron-red. You step down into cool, fine sand, the wind rearranging footprints as if the landscape were breathing.
