The sun drops like a copper coin behind the red dunes as a convoy of 4x4s carves tracks across Lahbab’s rippled slopes. Sand throws itself at the vehicle, daring you to lean into the sudden crest; elsewhere a camel chews steadily, patient as a local clock. By the time you arrive at the Bedouin-style camp, the desert has shifted from hot to hushed and the evening smells of coffee and spiced smoke.
