The engine growls and the sand answers — a red sea of dunes folding away under a wide, clear sky. You’ll leave the city’s glass and asphalt behind and climb into a Polaris-style dune buggy guided across open desert trails where the sand pushes and pulls the buggy like a living obstacle course. The ride matches sudden climbs with long, sweeping runs that reward brief, panoramic stops atop the highest crests.
