Hydrate before and during the trip
Carry at least 3 liters per person per day and sip regularly—desert air dehydrates faster than you expect.
Dress for big temperature swings
Bring breathable sun layers for daytime and an insulated jacket for cold nights around camp.
Protect your electronics and camera
Use dust covers and sealable bags; sand is the primary cause of gear damage on desert safaris.
