The day opens with a pale ribbon of light across wind-sculpted dunes as a 4x4 threads a track into the Qatari desert. Drivers ease up ridgelines, and the dunes—broad, granular, unrelenting—seem to push the vehicle forward; each crest reveals a new angle of sand and sky. Early morning silence makes room for a short camel ride and a falcon photo stop, then the tempo climbs: dune bashing throws up curtains of sand, while later a high ridge serves as a panoramic stage for photographs.
