Layer for temperature swings
Desert nights can drop sharply after hot days; pack a warm midlayer and a wind shell for campfire evenings.
Carry local cash
Small souk stalls, tipping and remote stops in villages often require dirhams — ATMs can be scarce in rural stretches.
Protect from sun and sand
Use a wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and a lightweight scarf to shield your face on dune crossings.
Pace for long drives
Daily driving includes multi-hour transfers; bring snacks, water and motion-sickness remedies if prone to discomfort.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction for medina cobbles, gorge trails and camp approaches.
Layered clothing
Light base layers, a warm midlayer and a windproof shell cover desert-to-mountain swings.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Maintains hydration during long drives and remote stops while reducing plastic use.
