The sun tilts low and the red dunes of Al Lahbab begin to glow—each ridge catching light like a living map you can run your hands across. In a convoy of 4x4s, the desert tilts and drops beneath the tires; the vehicles vault dunes, then settle to watch the horizon turn orange and purple as the day cools.
