Sun sinks toward a copper horizon as a line of buggies kicks sand into shimmering clouds. You leave the beachfront hotels of El Gouna and cross miles of compact desert, where ridges of wind-sculpted dunes become both playground and guide. The engine hums, the air tastes dry and sharp, and the desert seems to push you forward toward a low, late-afternoon light.
