The SUV tires dig into warm sand as the sun slides toward the horizon, turning the dunes into ridged pages of a book you can ride. On an evening desert safari from Dubai, the day loosens its heat and the landscape takes on a slower, darker pulse—wind shaping dunes, silence punctuated by the engine’s growl and camel bells.
