You cut loose from the coast and the sea’s humidity drops; the desert greets you with a palette of ochre dunes and wind-swept ridgelines. Throttle in hand, the quad bike answers with a steady rumble as sand pitches and falls under the tires, and the wind dares you to push a little harder up a steep face.

Protect your eyes and face
Goggles or wraparound sunglasses and a scarf will keep blowing sand out of your eyes and mouth during fast sections.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or light hiking boots prevent foot injuries and keep sand out; flip-flops are not suitable for quad control.
Hydrate before you go
Drink water before departure and accept bottled water provided at stops—dehydration hits quickly in desert heat.
Follow the guide’s line
Stay on marked routes to protect fragile desert soil and to avoid getting stuck in soft sand or rough rocky ground.
Closed-toe shoes (trainers or light boots)
Protect feet from heat, sand and provide better grip on footrests.
Sunglasses and scarf/bandana
Shields eyes and mouth from blowing sand and strong sun.
