The ride starts with a gust of warm desert wind and a line of quad bikes humming against a wide horizon. Headlights pick out ripples in the sand as guides brief you, and the dune field opens like a moving map: ridges to crest, soft bowls to negotiate, hard-packed tracks between them. A short camel ride and a stop at a Bedouin village round out the loop—tea, conversation and a chance to watch the desert settle.
