Hydrate before and during the drive
Long stretches without services mean you should carry at least 1.5–2L water per person for the trip day plus refills.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Bring a wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and UV sunglasses—coastal glare and desert reflection intensify exposure.
Bring cash for local markets and extras
Small vendors and remote stops often accept only cash (dirhams); carry small notes for tea, tips, and souvenirs.
Wear sturdy shoes for dune walking
Soft sand can be deceptive—light hiking shoes or boots provide ankle support and keep sand out better than sandals.
