More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun slides low over red sand and the dunes take on a molten glow — you arrive at Al Awir’s Bedouin-style camp after a short, air‑conditioned drive out of the city. Wind shapes the ridgelines into soft crests; the SUV’s tires hiss as they climb and drop on dune slopes, and the horizon tightens into a crisp orange band as guides stop for a sunset photo break.

Stay hydrated
Bring a reusable water bottle and sip frequently — desert air and dune driving dehydrate faster than you think.
Secure your camera
Use a neck strap and a zippered bag; fine sand can damage lenses and moving parts.
Wear firm footwear
Closed-toe shoes with some traction protect feet from hot sand and uneven walking surfaces at the camp.
Mind motion sickness
If you get sick in vehicles, sit near the center of the SUV and look at the horizon during dune runs.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides grip on uneven dune surfaces.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
High UV exposure at sunset and during transfers makes sunscreen essential year-round.
Light layers and scarf
Evenings cool quickly; a layer and scarf block windblown sand and chill.
Sunglasses and hat
Cut glare on the dunes and protect eyes from sand and strong low-angle sun.
