The sun slides low over rippled red dunes as 4x4s crunch through the sand and the desert cools; you stand at the lip of a dune with a rented quad thudding beneath you and a caravan of camels swaying in the distance. The ride begins fast—an hour of self-drive quad biking across the Red Sand, followed by a gentle camel ride, cultural performances and a dusk barbecue under open sky.
