The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and after the ride
Bring and drink water—desert heat and the motion of dune bashing increase dehydration risk.
Prepare for motion
Eat light 2–3 hours before departure and bring anti-nausea medication if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Sun and sand protection
Use high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a scarf or bandana to shield eyes and face from blowing sand.
Footwear and clothing
Wear closed, supportive shoes for walking on soft sand and a light jacket for cooler desert nights.

Conservation Note
Dunes are fragile: stay on established tracks, avoid littering, and follow guides to limit erosion and disturbance to local wildlife and vegetation.
Lahbab sits on traditional Bedouin routes once used for camel travel; modern safaris package elements of that culture—camel rides and gahwa—into staged evening experiences.
