The sun slants low over blood-red dunes as the 4x4 threads a path across an open ocean of sand; each crest rises and falls like a slow, deliberate wave daring you to hold on. Night follows fast in the desert—cool air replacing the daytime oven—and a lantern-lit camp appears where music and smoke gather under the stars.
