You arrive as the sun tilts low over the dunes, the 4WD sliding up a ridge while warm light paints the sand gold. Air-conditioning is a brief comfort before the vehicle nudges into quieter territory and the engine hushes, leaving wind and the soft thud of your heartbeat. A private gazebo and a low majlis await on a flattened crest; a chef lights coals nearby and a bottle of wine cools in the sand.
