The late afternoon sun carves hard lines across Lahbab's red dunes as a convoy of 4x4s threads a sandy ridge—wheels spitting bronze dust and laughter. Travelers step from air-conditioned comfort into a landscape where wind has been shaping the sand for millennia; the dunes rise and fall like an untamed ocean, and the horizon tightens into a clean, glowing edge at sunset.

Time for Sunset
