The sun drops low and the red dunes of Dubai begin to glow — the crest of a dune catches your shadow while the next slope dares you to climb it. On a VIP desert safari the landscape feels animated: wind-sculpted ridges push and fold, and the 4x4 hums as it threads between swells of sand.

Stay hydrated before and after
Drink water prior to pickup and use the bottled water provided — the desert dehydrates faster than you expect.
Protect from sun and sand
Wear UV-protective sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brim hat; a buff helps keep sand out of your face during dune runs.
Secure loose items
Bring a zippered bag for phones and passports — dune bashing can be bumpy and sand is fine enough to get into gear.
Choose seating to suit you
If you’re sensitive to motion or have back issues, request camp-only or VIP seating and skip the aggressive dune bashing.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
High SPF sunscreen and UV sunglasses protect you from intense desert sun.
summer
Closed-toe shoes or sand socks
Better traction and protection when walking on hot or shifting sand.
Light insulated layer
Evenings can turn cool after sunset; a light jacket keeps you comfortable at the camp.
winter
Small zippered daypack
Keeps valuables secure during dune bashing and gives space for water and camera gear.
