Hydrate Before and After

Wear Secure Footwear
Closed-toe shoes with good traction protect your feet during sandboarding and when walking on uneven dunes.
Expect Motion and Jostle
Dune bashing involves fast, sharp vehicle movements—secure loose items and avoid if you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns.
Respect Local Customs
Conservative dress and modest behavior are appreciated at public stops and when interacting with local staff; avoid public displays of affection.

Headlamp or flashlight
