The sun drops slow behind serrated dunes as a 4x4 carves an arcing track across the sand; wind-scrubbed ridgelines glow orange and the vehicle pitches and rolls in a practiced rhythm. At dawn the same landscape reads differently—soft pastels, long shadows and an almost silent horizon punctuated by the silhouettes of camels.
