Heat shimmers off the crest of a red dune as your 4x4 claws its way upward and then drops into a wind-sculpted bowl. In the Lahbab sands outside Dubai, the evening unfolds in stages: a rush of dune-bashing, the quiet of a camel stroll at sunset, and a lantern-lit camp where smoke from the barbecue threads into a star-swept sky.
