More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Late afternoon heat softens and the dunes take on a burnished glow as you slide from the city into open sand — the buggy’s engine hums, camels chew and the horizon stretches unbroken. The ride kicks off with a 30-minute buggy blast that toys with gravity, then a traditional camel stroll slows the pace so the desert can speak. When the 4x4s begin dune bashing, the sand rises and falls around you like a living wave daring you forward.

Hydrate before you go
Drink water before departure and carry a refillable bottle; desert air is dry and activities increase dehydration risk.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Loose sand and buggy vibration make sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes a must to protect your feet.
Bring sun protection
Sunglasses, wide-brim hat and SPF 30+ sunscreen will guard against reflective sand exposure during late-afternoon light.
Secure loose items
Use a zippered daypack or chest pouch—phones and hats can easily fly off during dune bashing.

Keeps you hydrated through sun exposure and physically active portions of the trip.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides grip during short walks and dismounts.
