The sun slides low over ochre waves of sand and the 4x4 rocks up the nearest crest—wind catching at your shirt, the dunes ahead like a shifting road.

Stay hydrated before and during the trip
Bring and sip at least 1–2 liters of water—desert air and activity dehydrate quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Loose sand and hot surfaces make sandals impractical; lightweight sneakers or hiking shoes are best.
Bring a light layer for after sunset
Temperatures fall rapidly once the sun sets—pack a thin jacket or shawl.
Secure cameras and phones
Fine sand can damage gear—use zip bags or camera covers and wipe equipment after the tour.
