Golden light hollows the face of the dunes as the convoy peels away from Dubai's skyline and into an expanse of red sand that seems to move on its own. Tires climb and drop; wind scours the crest lines and the desert breathes under a lowering sun. By evening the dunes glow ember-orange, and the camp—tents, lanterns, and low tables—feels both ancient and staged for comfort.
