Hydrate for long drives
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per day in the car and refill at towns; desert days are dry and sun exposure is high.
Dress respectfully

Footwear for uneven ground
Bring sturdy walking shoes with good tread for cobbled medina streets, rocky paths at Todra Gorges, and dune crossings.
