The sun sits low over a broad band of ochre dunes as the convoy pulls off the coastal road; wind carves ripples into the sand and the city’s distant hum gives way to silence. Riders learn a few controls, snap a helmet on, then push into open desert — the quad’s engine answering the wind as you climb and drop small dune faces. After a charged hour across shifting sand the pace slows: camels appear like patient ships and a Bedouin fire sends tea into small cups.
