Sun protection is essential
Bring a wide-brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen, and sunglasses—the desert sun is intense even if the wind feels cool.
Wear sturdy closed shoes
Expect loose sand and rocky surfaces around the village and quad area—trail runners or hiking shoes are best.
Hydrate before you go
Carry an extra refillable bottle; the operator provides bottled water but desert exertion increases needs.
Charge camera gear
Sunset and night-sky photography are highlights—bring backup batteries or a power bank.
