The sun is low and the sand holds last night’s cool as a 4x4 climbs a broad dune and the world opens into tawny ridgelines. Your vehicle leans and rights itself; the dunes feel deliberate, pushing you along and inviting a sharper pace.

Stay Hydrated
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water per person; morning tours are cooler but still dehydrating.
Protect Against Sun and Sand
High-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide-brim hat or scarf reduce glare and keep fine sand out of eyes.

Dune bashing is bumpy; if you are prone to motion sickness, take medication beforehand and sit where you feel most stable.
