More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a low-slung 4x4 and the city shrinks behind you; the road gives way to a sea of red sand that seems to roll forever. The dunes in Lahbab rise and fall like a slow, breathing force—each crest daring you to the next run. For four hours the desert sets the pace: a pulse of adrenaline during 40–50 minutes of dune bashing, then a quieter rhythm as you sandboard down soft faces and ride a short camel path across open flats.
