The engine coughs to life as first light pulls across the Eastern Desert, and the quad nudges forward, dust ghosts skimming the track. For three hours you’ll thread a route between low granite ridges and rust-colored dunes, the landscape daring you to push a little harder around each bend. Morning air keeps the sun’s heat at bay; the desert is active and watchful.
