Heat-softened sand slides under your boots as the 4x4 powers up a wind-sculpted ridge and the city’s skyline falls behind you. As the sun dips, the desert flips from harsh glare to honeyed shadow—this is prime time for dune bashing, a pulse-quickening run over steep faces and rounded crests, followed by quieter moments on a camel’s slow back and the joy of launching down a slope on a sandboard.
