Protect against the sun
Sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses are essential — the sand and limestone reflect intense sun all day.
Expect fine sand
Wear shoes you don’t mind filling with sand and consider gaiters or quick-dry socks to keep grit out.
Hydrate for the day
Carry at least 2 liters of water per person; heat and wind can dehydrate you faster than you expect.
Take photos early or late
Golden hours produce the best shadows and color contrast between pillars and dunes — plan for early morning or late afternoon shots.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Stable shoes protect feet on gravel tracks and prevent sand irritation during walks.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Crucial for long exposed periods on sand and limestone with high UV exposure.
