Hydrate before and during the trip

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Soft sand and hot surfaces make sandals uncomfortable; lightweight hiking shoes or trainers protect your feet during sandboarding and short walks.
Prepare for motion and wind
If you’re prone to motion sickness, sit toward the vehicle’s center and take antiemetics beforehand; secure loose hats and cameras during dune runs.
Timing for photos
Sunset is the prime window—ask the guide for a timed stop on a high ridge for the best light and fewer footprints in your shots.
