The sun lowers like molten coin and the dunes of Lahbab begin to cool, their ridgelines sharpening as shadow runs down the sand. Guests climb into a cushioned 4x4 and the engine hums—then the vehicle surges over the flank of a dune. Sand spills, wind tastes of iron and spice, and the desert seems to push back with every crest.
