Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person—vehicles may carry supplies, but the dry heat depletes hydration quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Soft sand and uneven surfaces make supportive, closed-toe footwear better than sandals for dune walks and camel mounting.
Protect yourself from the sun
Sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses are essential for the daytime portions and sunset photos.
Respect animals and performers
Ask guides before approaching or photographing falcons, oryx, and performers—guidelines keep wildlife calm and shows running smoothly.
Sunglasses and sun hat
Shields eyes and face from intense desert sun during daytime activities.
