Hydrate before you go
Drink plenty of water before pickup and sip throughout—bottled water is provided but desert heat dehydrates fast.
Sun protection matters
Use high SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses; the sun reflecting off sand intensifies exposure.
Wear sturdy, closed shoes
Loose sand will get everywhere—closed shoes protect feet during camel rides and sandboarding.
