A line of amber dunes ripples away from the road as the 4x4 climbs; wind scours the sand into ridges that seem to move when you look away. The jeep pauses on a crest and the horizon opens — to the left, the industrial silhouette of Mesaieed’s refineries; to the right, the Inland Sea’s flat, blue mirror where Qatar ends and the shoreline of Saudi Arabia begins.

Hydrate before you go
