The afternoon air thins as a four‑wheel drive climbs the first ridge of the Arabian dunes; the Land Cruiser hums, tyres sink, and the desert opens like a moving stage. You arrive as the sun tips gold, dunes daring you to sprint to the crest for a sunset frame, then settle into a low, warm light as the camp’s lamps wink on.
