More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned van and the dunes meet you: a low, burning ridge of red sand that rises and dares you to the top. Wind combs the slopes into sharp lines, the Atlas peaks watching from inland as gulls wheel over the Atlantic—the landscape both spare and immediate.

Time your visit for late afternoon
Dunes cool in late afternoon and the light sharpens for photos; avoid midday heat and blowy sand when possible.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
The climb back up dunes and the canyon floor are uneven—trail runners or hiking shoes give better traction than sandals.
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water
Desert sun and physical activity dehydrate quickly; carry water on the vehicle or in a small daypack.
Protect against sun and sand
Sunscreen, a wide-brim hat or buff, and wraparound sunglasses reduce sunburn and prevent sand irritation.
Closed-toe trail shoes

1–2 liter water bottle or hydration bladder
