Secure personal items
Keep phones, hats, and cameras in zipped pockets or a neck pouch during dune bashing — sand and sudden shifts will dislodge loose gear.
Hydrate before you start
Drink water before pickup; desert air accelerates dehydration even in cooler evenings.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand can be hot and shift underfoot; sturdy trainers or boots protect during dunes, quad rides and camel mounting.
Follow ATV briefings
If taking the 25‑minute quad option, listen closely to the safety talk and start at a conservative speed until you’re comfortable.
Closed-toe shoes
Protect feet from hot sand, abrasive surfaces and provide stability on dunes.
Sunhat and sunglasses
Blocks intense sun during transit and the late-afternoon hours before sunset.

Reusable water bottle
