The sun tilts low across a sea of red sand as a convoy of 4x4s climbs and falls over ribbed dunes, the vehicles carving temporary scars that the wind will smooth by morning. Travelers feel the truck lean into each face, then crest a ridge to a wide hush—an expanse that seems to dare you forward and then folds into the horizon.
