Sun protection
The Agafay has little shade — bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brim hat to avoid sunburn during midday stops.
Footwear matters
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for walking in rocky, uneven terrain and mounting camels safely.
Hydrate and pace
Carry a refillable bottle; the tour provides bottled water but staying hydrated before and during the camel ride keeps the day comfortable.
Respect local customs
Dress modestly in villages and ask before photographing people; small gestures of respect go a long way.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Shade and eye protection are critical during open-plain stops and camel rides.
