The morning light in Lahbab splits the red dunes into bands of gold and fire; you feel each swell of sand underfoot and the engine’s rumble as the 4x4 climbs a lip and drops into a hollow. Ride-hardened guides read the dunes like weather charts, steering you through slopes that rise and fall like an ocean of sand.
