The sun tilts low and a Land Cruiser kicks up a plume of ochre as it pulls away from Hurghada’s coastline — the city’s reef-lined calm receding fast behind you. Within thirty minutes the paved ribbon is gone; wind shapes the dunes into ridges that seem to dare you to cross them. The guide hands out helmets, points to the quads, and for a moment the desert feels like a wide, breathing challenge.
