Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person; the desert and active elements like dune bashing dehydrate you quickly.
Wear closed shoes
Sturdy closed-toe shoes protect against hot sand, rough scrub and evening chill when walking between dunes and camp areas.
Timing for photos
Book the afternoon-to-evening slot so you catch golden-hour light; ask the guide for a short stop on a high dune for sunset shots.
Motion-sickness precaution
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetic medication before dune bashing; rides are intense and may cause nausea.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin from intense desert sun during the afternoon drive and short daytime excursions.
