Hydrate Before and During
Carry and sip water—morning air can mask dehydration; complimentary water is usually provided but bring an extra bottle if you’re prone to thirst.
Protect Against Sun and Sand
Wear SPF 30+, wraparound sunglasses and a buff or hat; UV is intense even in cooler hours and sand reflects light aggressively.
Wear Sturdy, Closed Shoes
Choose closed, grippy shoes to handle hot sand and uneven dune slopes—flip‑flops are unsuitable for sandboarding or walking.
Prepare for Motion
If you’re prone to motion sickness, bring medication for the dune‑bashing portion; the 4x4 ride includes steep ascents and fast descents.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Protects feet on hot, shifting sand and gives traction for sandboarding and walking dunes.
Sunscreen & lip balm (SPF 30+)
Prevents sunburn in exposed desert conditions during morning sunlight.
