Conservation
The Sahara’s dune systems are fragile; stick to established tracks, avoid driving across shifting dunes and support local operators who practice water and waste conservation.

Hydrate frequently
Carry a 1–2L refillable water bottle and drink regularly — desert air is dry and long drives increase dehydration risk.
Bring a warm layer for nights
Desert temperatures drop sharply after sunset; a lightweight insulated jacket or fleece is useful for camp nights.
Wear sturdy shoes
Todgha Gorges and kasbah alleys are uneven; closed-toe hiking shoes with good tread make short hikes and village walks safer.
Protect from the sun
Wide-brim hat, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen are essential for dune time and open-road stops.
Sturdy walking shoes
Support and traction for gorges, kasbah paths and uneven terrain.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
Flat light and reflective sand increase UV exposure on dune and desert stops.
