Hydrate before and during the trip

Quads kick up rocks and camels require steady footing when mounting—avoid sandals.
Protect against sun and dust
Sunscreen, a wide-brim hat for transfers, and sunglasses help; goggles are provided for quads but bring a buff for dust.
Confirm pickup and timing
Most operators include hotel/riad pickup—verify exact pickup time to avoid missing the half‑day schedule.
