Hydrate for long drives and desert days
Carry a 1–2L refillable bottle and drink regularly—supply stops can be spaced by long transfers and desert heat increases dehydration risk.
Dress modestly in medinas and mosques
Light, long sleeves and a scarf will keep you comfortable in sun and show respect when entering religious sites.
Prepare for temperature swings
Bring a warm layer for desert nights and early-morning hilltop views; daytime can be hot while nights drop sharply.
Carry small cash and change
Local markets and some cooperatives prefer cash—ATMs are available in cities but limited in villages and desert stops.
Sturdy walking shoes
Needed for uneven medina alleys, rocky gorge trails and sand approaches.
Layered clothing and lightweight jacket
Days are warm, nights—especially in desert and mountains—can be cold; layers offer flexibility.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Open desert and Atlantic exposure make sun protection essential.
