A hot wind pushes up from the western horizon as a jeep threads a sandy track toward the dunes. By late afternoon the landscape opens: a flat of wind-sculpted sand, the silhouette of Khaba Fort like an abandoned watchtower, and camels gathered at a low ridge where guides gather the caravans. You climb into a saddle as the sun leans slow, and the desert—patient and wide—begins to move under you.

Hydrate before and during the ride
Bring at least 2 liters of water for the afternoon and evening—heat and sand make dehydration easy and water provided may be limited.
