Sun protection is essential
Bring a broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat—the desert and coastal glare intensify UV exposure even in late afternoon.
Wear closed shoes for the dunes
Soft sand and steep dune faces are easier and safer to navigate with sneakers or light hiking shoes.
Secure cameras and phones during dune bashing
Dune bashing involves sudden movements—store loose items or use straps to avoid damage or loss.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry water and sip regularly; the combination of heat and physical jolts from off-road driving can be dehydrating.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin during prolonged sun exposure in both the city and the desert.
Closed-toe shoes
Provides traction and protects feet when walking on dunes and rocky viewpoints.
Light scarf or long-sleeve layer
Covers shoulders for sun protection and respects cultural norms at traditional camps.
Small daypack with water bottle
Keeps personal items secure and water accessible during the full-day itinerary.
