You meet the van in Muscat before the sky lightens, the engine humming while the dunes ahead hold their breath. By 5am the 4x4 drops you at the dune crest; the sand is cold, then the sun pulls color through the ridges and the desert brightens like a slow ignition. Camels stand patient, the Bedouin guide pours Omani coffee with a practiced hand, and the dunes seem to move with you—shifting, warming, daring you to climb higher for the best panorama.
