The sun slides down behind an endless ridge of sand and the dunes begin to change color — ochre to copper to deep rust. In the Liwa, the sand seems to breathe, ridgelines catching light like pages turned by wind. A private 4x4 carves a route up the face of a dune, tires spitting grains that glitter in the last light; later, a bonfire gathers the group and the desert cools under a wide, unfamiliar sky.

Hydrate before you go
Start well-hydrated and carry a refillable water bottle; organizers provide water but desert heat can be unforgiving.
Protect from the sun
Wear a wide-brim hat, sunscreen and UV sunglasses—shade is limited during daytime stops.
