Dust lifts in a low sun as you roll away from the palm-lined Nile and into the open expanse east of Luxor. The first minutes are a lesson in throttle and balance — a 10-minute test run eases you into the quad, then the real terrain opens: hard-packed tracks, sandy hollows and low ridgelines with serrated mountains on the horizon.
