More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun leans low over red sand as a convoy of dune buggies threads a horizon of rippling dunes — wind carving new ridges while heat drains color from the landscape. Riders feel the vehicle bite and release the sand; every crest offers a raw, sudden view of sky and open desert.

Hydrate before you go
Bring and drink plenty of water before departure and during the tour — desert dehydration can sneak up fast.
Protect your eyes and skin
Wear UV sunglasses, a wide-brim hat or buff, and high-SPF sunscreen; sand reflects sunlight intensely.
Secure loose items
Use straps or sealed pockets for cameras and phones — sand and bumps dislodge gear quickly in open buggies.
Follow the guide’s signals
Stick with the convoy and obey instructor commands for safe lines over dunes and during passing maneuvers.
Sunglasses with UV protection
Shields eyes from glare and blown sand during the buggy run.
