The sun tilts low and the Lahbab red dunes flare like a furnace—grain by grain the landscape reshapes beneath your boots and the ATV’s tires. You arrive from Dubai in a 4x4, the city’s glass and highways fading until only rippling orange ridgelines remain; the dunes rise and dare you to climb, slide, or race them.
