The sun drops low over a red-ochre plain and the camels move like slow ships across sand; you climb a low ridge and the Gulf of Aqaba glints far off, while the desert begins to cool. A Bedouin encampment waits—low tents, a simmering pot, and the scent of cardamom tea—before a night that trades the city’s neon for a deliberate dark sky.

Dress in layers

Wear closed shoes
Sand and occasional sharp stones make sneakers or light hiking shoes the best choice over sandals.
Stay hydrated earlier in the day
The desert dehydrates fast; drink water before departure so you’re comfortable during the evening.
Protect electronics from sand
Use a sealed pocket or dry bag during the ride to keep cameras and phones free of grit.
Closed-toe shoes
Protect feet from hot daytime sand and sharp gravel after sunset.
