The morning wind carries salt from the Red Sea as your quad drops into the first basin of dunes outside Hurghada. Sand sprays in a bright arc; the machine hums and the desert answers with rolling ridges that push back under your tires. After an hour of carving sandy shoulders you slow, tether your quad, and let a camel’s slow stride pull you across a gentler slope toward a small Bedouin settlement.
