Hydrate before and during the trip
Desert air is dry and dune-bashing is dehydrating—bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person and drink regularly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Soft sand and hot surfaces make closed shoes or light hiking boots the best choice for camel rides and walking around camp.
Protect from sun and sand
Use a wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and a lightweight scarf to shield face from windblown sand during off-road segments.
Notify dietary and health needs ahead
This private setup allows custom menus and safety accommodations—inform the operator of allergies, Jain or vegetarian requests, and medical concerns when booking.
Sun-protection kit (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
Keeps skin and eyes protected from intense desert sun during afternoon and evening hours.
