A late-afternoon sun slants low over a rolling sea of sand as a convoy of Hummer 4x4s peels off the highway and climbs the nearest ridge. Wind sculpts the dunes into sharp crests; the vehicle rocks, the engine hums, and the desert opens into wide, quiet space. By sunset the horizon flushes orange and the caravan eases into a camp where lanterns, a barbecue and live performers await.
