The sun presses heat into the dunes as engines flick to life—the first roar of an ATV breaking the quiet of the Egyptian desert. Sand throws itself off the tires and the world opens to a ribbon of ochre ridges; you lean into berms, feel the machine answer, and the coastline at Hurghada falls away behind you.

Hydrate before you go
