The sun slides low over a sea of red sand and the dunes begin to glow—warm, grainy waves that dare you to climb and slide. You meet your driver at a hotel pickup in Dubai, then cross scrub and gravel until the cityscape drops away and the Lahbab red dunes come forward, steep and sculpted by wind.

Bring a reusable water bottle
Spectacular sunset and physical activity in sand dehydrate quickly—refill at the camp before you go out to the dunes.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Soft, hot sand and dune slopes make sandals unreliable—light hiking shoes or trainers work best.
Protect from sun and sand
Sunglasses, a wide-brim hat, and a light scarf protect your skin and camera from wind-driven sand.
Secure cameras and phones
Dune-bashing is bumpy—use a neck strap or secure case to prevent damage during the ride.
Closed-toe shoes
Keep sand out of toes and provide traction on steep dune slopes.
Reusable water bottle
