Hydrate before and during long drives
Distances between sights can be extensive—carry at least 1–2 liters per person and refill at lodges to avoid dehydration in the dry interior.
Bring sturdy, broken-in shoes
Todra and Dades involve uneven gorge walking and dune climbs that demand good traction and ankle support.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
High altitude passes and open dunes amplify sun exposure—use a wide-brim hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Respect local customs in riads and souks
Dress modestly in rural areas and ask before photographing people; tipping small amounts is customary for guides and drivers.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Good traction for rocky gorges, kasbah courtyards and dune slopes.

Light insulating layer
Warm for early mornings in the desert and cold passes at altitude.
