The Land Cruiser thumps over the last paved stretch and the city skyline blinks out — sand takes over, stretching red and gold toward the horizon as the sun slides low. You feel the dune rise under the 4x4, then fall away; the vehicle leans, the sand seems to push back, and for a moment the desert sets the pace.

Hydrate before and during the tour
Bring a 1–2L reusable water bottle and sip steadily; guides provide some drinks but temperatures can drain energy quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand and quad vibrations make sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes safer than sandals when mounting bikes and walking dune slopes.
Protect gear from sand
Use a zip-lock or dry bag for cameras and phones; sand gets everywhere during quad and dune activities.
Time your photos for golden hour
Ask the guide for a sunset stop—the soft light across the red dunes is best in the last 30 minutes before sunset.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical in the desert heat and during active segments like quad riding.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides traction on dunes and quad mounts.
Sun protection (hat, SPF 30+, sunglasses)
Midday sun can be intense; protect skin and eyes during approach and any daytime waiting periods.
summer
Light layer or windbreaker
Temperatures drop after sunset—bring a light jacket for comfort at the evening camp.
