You arrive before the sun has burned the chill from the sand; low-angle light sharpens every ridge and the dunes look like a living landscape, shifting under the wind’s direction. A convoy of air-conditioned 4x4s moves into the Lahbab dunes—drivers pick lines with practiced timing as the vehicles crest and plunge, sending grains skittering off the ridges.

Conservation
Stay on designated vehicle paths and minimize disturbance; desert vegetation and crusts are fragile and slow to recover from off-route driving.
