The SUV eases off asphalt and the city’s glow shrinks behind you; dune crests roll in long, honeyed waves and the wind pushes a thin, hot grit across your face.

Hydrate before and during the trip

Sun and dust protection
Use SPF 30+, sunglasses, and a lightweight scarf to shield against sun and drifting sand during afternoon activities.
Discuss ride intensity
Ask your operator how aggressive the dune bashing will be if you’re prone to motion sickness or have back issues.
