Hydrate before you go
Drink water before pickup and use the bottled water provided; the desert dehydrates quickly, especially during summer.
Bring motion-sickness medicine
Dune bashing can be jerky—take anti-nausea medication if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and UV sunglasses are useful even late in the day when reflections off sand are strong.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand gets hot and can hide sharp debris; closed-toe shoes make short walks and camel mounts safer and more comfortable.

Keeps you hydrated between provided bottles and reduces plastic waste.
