Hydrate before and during the trek
Carry at least 2–3L of water daily in a refillable bottle; desert dehydration can set in quickly even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Wear stiff-soled shoes
Soft sand hides sharp rocks and scrub—light hiking shoes with good soles make dune climbs and oasis walks easier.
Plan for temperature swings
Bring insulating layers for pre-dawn and evening when temperatures can drop sharply after sunset.
Carry local currency
Small villages and some camp staff prefer cash for tips, snacks, or purchases; ATMs are sparse beyond Agadir.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provides traction and protects feet on sand, gravel tracks, and rocky village paths.
Sun hat & high-SPF sunscreen
Essential for daytime dune exposure and long stretches between shade.
summer
Warm insulating layer
Nights in the bivouac can be cold—pack a fleece or lightweight down jacket.
winter
Refillable 1–2L water bottle
