The sun drops like a coin behind the red dunes, and the sand breathes heat that seems to push you forward as you climb the crest. On this private Red Dune Desert Safari outside Dubai, 4x4s carve tracks into waves of ochre while the sky steels itself for sunset photography. Camel humps flex in the low light and a Bedouin-style camp waits with carpets and low tables for a long evening.
