More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Land Cruiser hums through suburbia and then the city thins to a horizon of red sand. By torchlight the convoy deflates tires and eases into powder; the dunes rise and fall like a living map. As the truck crests a high lip, the sky blanches at the edge of morning and the red dunes court the sun—an abrupt, clean horizon that makes the desert feel both vast and immediate.
