Legend and awe.
Head into the desert in a 4X4, driving through silence and breathtaking beauty. About two hours into your journey, the lost city of Ubar appears. Still a well-kept secret and only discovered 25 years ago by satellite imagery, the ancient fortress town was once a bastion of riches for the trade of frankincense. It was then buried under a mass of shifting dunes and erased from memory.
