You push past the last paved turn and the city recedes into a ribbon of dust; the dune field opens—soft ridgelines sliced by wind and sunlight. In a twin-seater buggy with a full roll cage, you climb a 30-foot dune and the engine thrum becomes a steady heartbeat as the sand pushes beneath your tires.

Bring your passport
You must present one passport for on-site registration—keep it accessible to avoid delays at pickup.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy footwear protects your feet during brief exits, climbs, and when sand is kicked up during runs.
Hydrate and time your run
Aim for morning or late afternoon outside summer to avoid peak heat; bottled water is provided but bring extras if you’re sensitive to heat.

Sunglasses, phones, and hats should be tethered or stowed—sudden drops can eject unsecured gear.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Provide traction and foot protection when entering/exiting buggies and walking on dunes.
High-SPF sunscreen & lip balm
Protects skin from intense desert sun, especially during midday runs.

Polarized sunglasses with retainer
