Hydrate Before and During the Tour
Bring a full water bottle and sip regularly — the desert air and activity dehydrate quickly.
Protect Against the Sun
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses; UV is strong even in late afternoon.
Prepare for Motion
Dune bashing is dynamic; take motion-sickness medication if you’re prone to nausea and sit centrally in the vehicle.
Footwear and Sand
Choose closed-toe shoes or sturdy sandals and expect sand inside footwear — gaiters or quick-dry socks help.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects exposed skin from strong desert UV during late-afternoon and evening hours.
