More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Late afternoon light thins to gold as a convoy of 4x4 Land Cruisers powers away from Dubai’s glass and asphalt, engines chattering like eager animals heading into the Red Desert. The first climb over a steep lip of sand tilts the world; the vehicle heels, the dune seems to push back, and for thirty minutes the driver reads the terrain like a musician reading rhythm. At the top, the desert opens — wind-sculpted ridges and a horizon that swallows the sun in an orange hush.
