Hydrate before you go
Bring a filled 1–1.5L reusable water bottle—dehydration hits fast in the desert heat, even on short rides.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Sand and vehicle footwells are abrasive; sturdy sneakers or trail shoes protect feet and improve control when climbing dunes on foot.
Listen to the guide
Follow seat-swap instructions and driving pace set by the guide—most incidents happen when riders push beyond demonstrated techniques.
Protect skin and eyes
Apply high-SPF sunscreen, wear sunglasses under goggles if needed, and use the provided goggles in dusty gusts.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Protect feet from hot sand and give traction when walking across dunes.
Sun protection (hat, SPF 50 sunscreen)
Shield skin during exposed driving segments—sun is intense on reflective sand.
summer
Light wind or fleece layer
Desert mornings and evenings can be cool; layers are easy to carry in the support vehicle.
winter
1–1.5L reusable water bottle
Maintains hydration before and after the ride; operators may supply small refreshments but carry your own water.
