Wear closed, sturdy shoes
Sand and small rocks can shift under the footpegs; closed shoes with good grip improve control and comfort.
Bring sun protection and a buff
The desert sun and wind carry sand—sunscreen, sunglasses, and a neck buff reduce exposure and irritation.
Charge your camera and use fast shutter speeds
Dust and motion make photography tricky—steady shots benefit from fast shutter speeds and protective covers.
