History

Conservation
The dunes are sensitive to off-road driving—stick to operator routes, avoid littering, and support companies that minimize their footprint and respect local reserves.

Hydrate before departure
Drink water in the hours before pickup and bring a refillable bottle—desert air is dry and dune-bashing is dehydrating.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand gets hot and fines shift underfoot—sturdy closed-toe shoes make walking in dunes and around camp far easier.
Plan for motion
If you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns skip dune bashing; the drivers push vehicles on steep, fast slopes.
Bring a light layer for evenings
Temperatures drop after sunset—have a thin jacket or shawl for comfort during dinner and while stargazing.
Sun hat & sunscreen
Protects against strong daytime desert sun during transfers and short walks.
