The engine kicks and the dunes shift, a low horizon of orange that seems to move as you climb into an open Polaris buggy. In the cool morning light the sand smells faintly metallic; by evening the same ridges burn gold and shadows sharpen into veins. Drivers thread the buggy over steep faces and soft bowls, the machine hunkering and surging as wind and sand challenge every turn.
