Bring sun protection
Large portions are exposed; sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat are essential for midday sections.
Wear sturdy shoes
Trails are uneven and the underground city has steps and low passages — closed‑toe shoes with grip help.
Hydrate between stops
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water; the guide provides breaks but hydration prevents fatigue in dry heat.
Mind low ceilings underground
Ceiling heights vary and some passages are narrow — watch your head and move slowly in tight sections.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provides traction on rocky tracks and comfort for repeated elevation changes.
Water bottle (1–2 L)
