The engine’s low thrum holds steady as you crest a wind-scoured ridge and the desert opens — hard-packed plains giving way to soft, rolling dunes and a horizon cut by the dark line of distant mountains. Sunlight slides across the sand, and the guide signals a route; shifting sand and sudden camber demand attention, but the test-drive you took minutes earlier keeps confidence high.
