Follow the guide
Always stay with the guide and obey vehicle-speed and line-of-travel instructions to avoid unseen soft spots and preserve dunes.

Secure loose items
Close pockets and secure phones/cameras in a dry bag or harness to prevent loss during zorbing or bumpy runs.
Hydrate before and after
The desert heat dehydrates quickly; bring at least 1 liter of water for the 60-minute experience and drink extra afterward.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet during dune climbs, vehicle entry, and while walking on hot sand.
Sunglasses or goggles
Keeps sand and glare out of your eyes at speed and during zorbing.
High-SPF sunscreen
Prevents sunburn in intense, reflected desert sunlight.
