Hydrate and time your trip
Desert heat can be extreme—start early or late and carry ample water; bottled water is provided but bring extras if you sweat heavily.

Use zip pockets or dry bags for phones and cameras; wind and sand will damage unsecured items during high-speed dune runs.
Follow the guide’s line
