Dawn photography on the ridges
Fog over the dunes at first light is the best-kept secret of the sands.
Set an alarm for an hour before sunrise. The night's dew often leaves a thin fog in the bowls between ridges, and the first light turns the crests pink before the sand settles into its daytime ochre. At sunset the sequence reverses, from orange to brown to blue. Camps will drive you to a high ridge; otherwise walk barefoot up the nearest one.
