The sun sits low and the dunes take on a hard, copper edge as your Land Cruiser punches up a steep face and the city quietly blinks away behind you. By the time you reach the VIP camp, the horizon is a band of molten gold; the evening spreads slowly, punctuated by the thrum of engines and the distant call of a lone camel.
