The sun slants low over the Lahbab red dunes and the sand seems to lean forward, daring you to cut across its ribs. You step out of an air-conditioned 4x4 onto warm, iron-red sand; the wind carries a hint of acacia smoke and the rhythmic calls of distant birds. Engines rumble, then the desert takes over—dunes roll like slow waves, and for a few hours the city feels impossibly far away.
