Best 4x4 in hot and sandy conditions

[only1ian]

Currently in the process of selling my Alpina and the misses wants a 4x4 to replace it. I'm living out in the UAE so fuel isn't and issue but good workshops are so it has be reliable yet hopefully still fun. Not looking for dune bashing more exploring off-road trails and beach areas. Any suggestions from PH?

60000-80000aed £10000-£13000 to spend

Would it a 76 put a smile on my face and handle ok on road?

Those FJ cruisers are in budget they do appeal and they would fit the road/off-road use required. They do have a feral youth fan base out here so I fear they will all have been thrashed
