Sun protection is essential
Bring a wide-brim hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+ sunscreen — shade is limited during midday rides.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Sandy paths and camel mounting platforms call for shoes that protect toes and provide grip.
Mind your back and neck
The gait of a camel can jolt; if you have spinal or neck problems, avoid riding or consult your doctor first.
Carry small local currency
Tip camel handlers and have cash for post-ride mint tea or small souvenirs — contactless payments are uncommon in the palmeraie.
Wide-brim hat
Protects face and neck from strong sun during the open-palmeraie sections.
