Hydrate Early and Often
Carry at least 2–3 liters of water per day; desert air and sun accelerate dehydration even during mild activity.
Layer for Temperature Swings
Bring a lightweight insulating layer and windproof shell—days can be hot, nights drop sharply.
Protect Against Sand
Use a buff or scarf and keep electronics in sealed bags; sand gets into everything during dune crossings.

Schedule 4x4 excursions and longer walks for early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and harsh shadows.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Protects against intense sunlight and glare on open dunes.
