The sun drops like copper behind the high red dunes of Al-Lahbab as a convoy of 4x4s threads a route over wind-sculpted ridges. Sand hisses beneath tires; a falcon perches silent and proud while camels stride slow and steady near a low, lantern-lit camp. This is a classic Dubai desert evening—equal parts rush and ritual.
