A line of engines coughs to life at dawn and the desert answers — a low, granular roar as dune buggies climb rippled crests and drop into sun-scraped hollows. Riders trade the steady blue of the Red Sea for an open, wind-sculpted inland where sand throws light in every direction and the horizon looks permanently in motion.
