History

Conservation

Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring extra water and sip frequently—the desert air is dry and morning rides can still dehydrate you quickly.
Wear closed, grippy footwear
Sand can get hot and coarse; closed shoes prevent blisters and keep sand out during sandboarding and short hikes.
Prepare for motion
Dune bashing is dynamic—if you get motion sick, take precautions before the drive or sit toward the center of the vehicle.
Protect skin and camera gear
Use high-SPF sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and a breathable face covering to keep sand off lenses and exposed skin.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides traction for climbing dunes.
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Bright sun and reflective sand increase UV exposure—protect skin and eyes.
