The sun is low and the dunes glow like spilled copper as a convoy of 4x4s powers across Lahbab’s red sands. Tires bite and the vehicle rises, cresting a shoulder of wind-sculpted sand before plunging into a hollow — a quick, heart-quickening motion that defines dune bashing. Nearby, a camel stands patient against the sky; later, its slow gait will contrast with the evening’s adrenaline.
