Bring motion-sickness remedies
Dune bashing involves rapid elevation changes; if you get carsick, take medication beforehand or sit toward the front of the vehicle.
Hydrate before and during
Carry and drink water—desert air and activity dehydrate quickly even with air-conditioned transfers.
Choose closed-toe shoes
Soft sand and camp surfaces make closed-toe shoes safer for walking, sand-boarding and camel mounts.
Time for sunset photos
Book the late-afternoon departure to catch golden light on dune crests and avoid harsh midday glare.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides grip for sand-boarding and walking in camp.
Sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen
Blocks intense sun and reflected glare from sand; reapply sunscreen during the visit.
summer
Light layer or windbreaker
Desert temperatures can drop in the evening—bring a light jacket for comfort after sunset.
winter
Motion-sickness tablets or wristbands
Helpful for those prone to nausea during dune bashing and bumpy transfers.
