The sun is a slow-burning coin on the horizon as the 4x4 climbs the lip of a red dune; sand slides away beneath the wheels and the city silhouette recedes until only wind-sculpted ridges remain. In this evening desert safari the dunes take the lead — a landscape that reclaims your attention with wide curves, hard-packed tracks and soft, powdery slopes that glitter as the light softens.

Hydrate before and during the trip
Carry a reusable water bottle and sip regularly — guides provide water at the camp but dehydration sets in quickly in desert air.
Protect your head and eyes
Wear a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses; even near sunset the glare off sand can be intense.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand, camel rides and walking at the camp are easier and safer in sturdy, closed-toe footwear.
Prepare for motion
Dune bashing is vigorous — take motion-sickness meds if you’re sensitive and follow seatbelt instructions.
Sun hat or cap
Shields face during late-afternoon sun and reduces glare during photos.
