The sun hangs low over rolling red dunes as a 4x4 powers up a crest and the wind carries a fine spray of sand—this is the entry beat of a Dubai desert safari. Guests are collected in air-conditioned vehicles from Dubai and driven out of the city into wide, wind-sculpted spaces where each dune ride briefly rearranges the skyline.
