The late afternoon sun drops low over the red dunes and the sand seems to move with a slow, patient energy that dares you forward. You arrive in a 4x4 as the city falls away, and the first stretch of open desert stretches like an unmarked map—soft ridges, wind-scoured faces, and sudden hollows that throw light and shadow across the sand.
