Hydrate before you go
Drink water before departure and carry a small bottle; desert heat and exertion on quads dehydrate quickly.
Protect from the sun
Use high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat—late afternoons still have strong UV exposure on open dunes.
Choose footwear for sand and bumps
Wear closed-toe shoes with grip; sandals let sand in and quads/jumps demand more stable footwear.
Respect local customs
Accept invitations like tea politely and ask before photographing people in the Bedouin village.
Closed-toe sturdy shoes
