Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–1.5 liters of water per person even though filtered water is provided; desert heat depletes fluids quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand shifts underfoot—light hiking shoes or sneakers protect against hot sand and sharp scrub during dune walks.
Prepare for minimal facilities
There are no toilets or permanent shelters at the dunes—carry tissues, hand sanitizer and be ready to use natural cover.
Bring small cash
Carry local currency for tips, extra snacks or handicrafts in nearby villages where card machines may not be available.
Wide-brim sun hat
