Bring a light layer for evening
Temperatures drop quickly after sunset; a windbreaker or fleece keeps you comfortable at the camp.
Closed shoes for sand

Even late-afternoon desert sun is strong — bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat.
Motion-sickness caution
Dune-bashing is bumpy; sit centrally in the vehicle and consider medication if prone to motion sickness.
