Sun protection is non-negotiable

Closed-toe shoes for comfort
Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes keep sand out and protect feet during sandboarding and buggy exits.
Hydrate before and during the trip
Carry and sip bottled water provided by the operator—desert air dehydrates you faster than you think.
