Hydrate before departure

Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and sunglasses protect you during afternoon activities and photo stops.
Secure cameras during dune bashing
Use straps or a quick-release pouch; sudden vehicle maneuvers can jostle or drop gear.

Not recommended for pregnant travelers or people with back/heart issues due to bumpy rides and physical activities.
