The late-afternoon sun slants low across the red dune crests as a rumbling Hummer H2 powers up a sandy spine and you brace for the slide. Wind tugs at your sleeves; sand throws itself like glitter against the windows while the driver threads the vehicle over undulating dunes, each crest delivering a brief, stomach-lightening drop.
