The engine coughs, then settles into a steady growl as the Polaris RZR pushes from the compact track into the open slope of Erg Chebbi. Sand rises in a soft spray around the tires; the landscape opens into ridgelines of orange that change color as the sun slides. Guides brief each driver, then signal and lead the convoy toward crests and corrugated flats where momentum and line choice decide whether the buggy surfs a dune or digs in.
