Start early for cooler temperatures
Morning departures avoid midday heat and firmer sand improves dune‑bashing and sandboarding conditions.
Wear closed‑toe shoes
Fine sand gets into sandals; low hikers or trainers keep feet protected during climbs and camel mounting.
Protect skin and eyes
Bring high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat—UV exposure is strong even in cooler months.
Stay hydrated but pack light
Bottled water is usually provided, but carry a small refillable bottle and a zip pouch for essentials.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects against strong desert UV during morning hours.
