Hydrate before pickup
Drink water before the drive—the desert heat and a bumpy ride can dehydrate you quickly.
Choose late-afternoon timing
Book the tour that leaves mid-afternoon to finish at sunset for the best light and cooler temperatures.
Protect gear from sand
Use a ziplock or dry bag for phones and cameras—sand gets everywhere during dune runs.
Notify health constraints
If pregnant or having back/heart issues, inform the operator—dune bashing is not recommended for these conditions.
Closed-toe shoes
