You arrive at the edge of the Lehbab red dunes as the light softens, the sand turning from ochre to a burnished copper. Engines hum to life for a guided 60-minute quad ride that pushes you across steep lips and wave-like crests; the dunes respond, shifting under each wheel and throwing up brief plumes of sand that smell faintly of mineral dust and sun-warmed stone.
