The sun leans toward the horizon and the desert begins to change color—gold becomes copper, then deep crimson. You slide into a restored Mercedes G‑Class, its silhouette a nod to motoring history, and the vehicle noses up an endless ridge of wind-sculpted sand. The dunes seem to push you along, and in minutes the city’s skyline is a distant glow while the desert opens wide.

Hydrate before you go
Carry a reusable water bottle; organizers supply water but desert air dehydrates quickly, especially around sunset.
Wear closed shoes
Sand gets hot and uneven—light hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers make walking on dunes and around camp far easier.
Protect from the sun and sand
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat; bring a lightweight scarf to shield against blowing sand.
Respect wildlife and guides
Keep noise low during drives and follow guide instructions to avoid disturbing Arabian oryx and other species.
Sun hat or cap
Shields face and eyes during the golden-hour drive and while at camp.
summer
Closed-toe shoes
Provide traction and protect feet from hot, uneven sand.
Light layers and a warm layer
Desert nights cool quickly; a fleece or jacket is useful after sunset.
winter
Compact camera or binoculars
A short telephoto or binoculars improve wildlife and sunset photography from the dune crests.
