Hydrate before and during the trip
Carry a reusable water bottle—operators usually provide bottled water but bring extra if you’re sensitive to heat.
Wear closed, sand‑resistant shoes
Sturdy trainers or lightweight hiking shoes protect feet from hot sand and during short walks on dunes.
Expect a bumpy ride
Dune bashing is physically jostling; if you suffer from back problems or motion sickness, choose a gentler option or sit near the center of the vehicle.
Protect gear from sand
Keep cameras and phones in zip bags; blowing sand can damage lenses and ports—wipe gear carefully after the trip.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
High sun exposure and reflective sand make sunscreen essential for comfort and skin protection.
