You arrive under a wide North African sky: an airport driver meets you, luggage slides into a private vehicle, and the road unfurls toward medinas and mountains. Streets hum with scooters and merchants, the scent of spices lingers, and by evening the Sahara will push its dunes like a slow, patient tide.

Beat the heat in the dunes
Plan camel rides and dune walks for sunrise or late afternoon to avoid extreme desert temperatures; mid-day can exceed 40°C in summer.
Cash for markets
Carry small-denomination dirhams for souks, tips, and remote villages—ATMs exist in major cities but may be scarce en route.
Layer for mountain passes
Bring a warm mid-layer for Tizi n-Tichka and early-morning desert temperatures—alpine chills can appear unexpectedly at 2,260 m.
Respect local customs
Dress modestly in religious sites and rural communities; a lightweight scarf is useful for sun and cultural etiquette.
Sturdy walking shoes
Grip and ankle support for cobblestones, gorges, and dune edges.
Layered clothing
Light base layers for daytime heat and insulating mid-layers for cold mountain nights.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Stay hydrated off-the-beaten tracks where bottled water may be limited.
Sun protection (hat, SPF, sunglasses)
Essential for exposed desert and high-altitude sun.
