Bring a light jacket
Desert temperatures drop quickly after sunset; a thin insulated or windproof layer keeps you comfortable during the evening show.
Protect from sun and sand
Sunscreen, sunglasses with side protection, and a buff or bandana will reduce sunburn and keep sand out of your mouth and gear.
Hydrate before you go
Drink water ahead of the trip and use provided bottled water during stops—dune activity and heat can dehydrate you faster than you expect.
Secure loose items
Keep cameras and phones in straps or sealed bags during dune bashing to avoid damage from sand and sudden movements.
Closed-toe shoes
Protect feet from hot sand and provide grip for climbing dunes and camels.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
High UV exposure and reflective sand make sun protection essential.
