Book an evening slot
Evening departures cool off the heat and give you sunset light for photos, so aim for the scheduled late-afternoon pickup.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Loose sand and hot surfaces make closed-toe shoes with good tread more comfortable for climbing dunes and mounting camels.
Secure electronics during dune bashing
Use a zippered case or wrist strap—4x4 driving and sandboarding both jostle cameras and phones.
Hydrate and protect skin
Bring or use provided bottled water, sunscreen and sunglasses—desert sun reflects strongly off sand even near sunset.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides traction when climbing dunes or boarding camels.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
