Hydrate Before and During
Bring a reusable water bottle and drink before you arrive—temperatures drop after sunset and dehydration is common after dune bashing.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Sand and camp surfaces can be hot and uneven; sturdy shoes protect feet during camel rides and short walks around camp.
Prepare for Motion Sickness
Dune bashing is intentionally bumpy—take anti-nausea medication or sit toward the middle of the vehicle if you are prone to motion sickness.
Respect Local Dress Norms
Though camps are tourist-friendly, modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) shows cultural respect, especially during performances and meal service.
Sunhat & Sunglasses
Shields face and eyes during open-sky time and dune bashing photo stops.
