More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun slides low and the dunes turn a deep copper as a convoy of 4x4s threads a quiet track into Lahbab’s red sands. Wind throws fine sugar‑grain sand over footprints and tires; engines sigh as drivers ease up the next slope and the world narrows to a horizon of rippled ridges. A quick photo stop at the highest crest, and suddenly the desert presses close—vast, tactile, alive.
