Start early on driving days
Most long transfers occur between cities—leave after breakfast to avoid afternoon heat and to catch scenic light for photos.
Layer for desert nights
Temperatures drop sharply after sunset in the Sahara; carry a warm midlayer even if daytime is hot.
Bring plenty of water and electrolytes
Long drives and dry desert air accelerate dehydration—carry at least 1–2 liters per day and refill when you can.
Carry cash for rural purchases
Smaller towns and souks often prefer dirhams in cash for tips, market stalls and small services.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Strong Saharan sun requires high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brim hat for prolonged comfort.
summer
Warm midlayer
Desert nights and high-altitude stops are cold—pack a fleece or lightweight insulated jacket.
winter
Sturdy walking shoes
City alleys, rocky gorges and camp approaches are best handled in closed-toe shoes with good grip.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Keeps you hydrated and reduces plastic use; useful when tap water is uncertain in rural stops.
