The sun tilts low and a line of dune crests throws long, sharp shadows as a convoy of 4x4s pushes off the highway and into the hollow of the Arabian sands. Wind polishes the ridges; each slope dares you to climb it, and the quad bike track hums like a promise. You’ll feel the desert change as light falls — granular gold to soft charcoal — while a camel pads patiently at the camp’s edge.

Hydrate before arrival
Drink at least 500–750ml of water before the activity and carry a refillable bottle; desert dehydration sets in quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Loose sand and quad vibrations make lightweight hiking shoes or trainers a safer choice than sandals.
Bring sun protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide-brim hat protect you during late-afternoon sun and while waiting between activities.
Secure loose items
Use zip pockets or dry bags for phones and cameras — sand and wind can quickly damage electronics.
