You arrive as the sun tilts gold across the Wahiba dunes: wind-sculpted ridges rise and fall like slow breaths, and a caravan of camels leads you up to a private Bedouin tent pitched on a crest. The first camel steps across hot sand with an easy, patient rhythm; the desert answers with silence and a sky that pushes itself wide.
