The vehicle slides over a golden lip of sand and for a moment the city disappears — only wind, curve and horizon. Dune bashing throws you side to side, the 4x4 heaving up crest after crest while the sunset polishes the dunes into hard edges and warm shadows.

Hydrate before you go
Drink water in the hours before pickup and carry a bottle; the camp provides soft drinks but the desert dries you out quickly.
Protect from sun and sand
Wear SPF, sunglasses and a brimmed hat; a lightweight scarf blocks blowing sand during open-top stops.
Motion-sickness preparedness
Dune bashing can be intense—take motion-sickness medication if you’re prone and sit where you feel most stable in the vehicle.
Footwear and mobility
Choose sturdy, closed-toe shoes for walking on hot, shifting sand and when mounting camels; flip-flops make moving on dunes difficult.
