The engine growls as the dune buggy drops into a hollow; fine sand sprays, sunlight cuts across the ridge, and the desert seems to tip forward daring you to go faster. This is Ras Al Khaimah’s working desert—open, wide, and shaped by wind—and for an hour you follow a guide over rolling sand hills that change with every gust.
