The sun slants low over a run of red dunes; wind sculpts ridgelines and the buggy's engine answers with a steady rumble as the vehicle carves a temporary track across sand. Participants trade the city skyline for 30 minutes of hands-on dune driving or a passenger seat that makes every crest feel like a small summit, then settle at a camp as the desert cools into copper and shadow.

Hydrate and eat light
Drink water before and after the ride; the desert's combination of exertion and heat makes dehydration easy.
