The sun skims the horizon and the red dunes flex like waves frozen mid-swell — the sand nudges at your boots and dares you to move faster. This evening safari runs from Dubai into the Lehbab/Red Dunes area, a landscape of towering soft dunes formed from wind-sorted quartz and iron-rich sands that give the desert its rust-red cast.
