Hydrate before long drives
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person for day legs and refill whenever you stop — dehydration is the most common issue on desert transfers.
Protect from sun and sand
Use a wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and a scarf or buff to shield face during camel rides and dune walks.
Prepare for temperature swings
Bring a lightweight insulating layer; desert nights can drop dramatically even after hot days.
Allow time for stops
Expect photo stops, short walks in gorges and local market visits — don’t plan tight connections on arrival/departure days.
