The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate Before You Go
Drink water before pickup and carry a small bottle—desert mornings are deceptively dehydrating.
Secure Loose Items
Wind and sand will claim hats, phones and sunglasses—use straps or zip pockets.
Motion-Sickness Strategy
If prone to motion sickness, choose a middle seat in the Hummer and focus on the horizon during dune bashing.
Respect Camel Welfare
Follow handlers’ directions for photos and rides; avoid sudden movements around animals.

Conservation Note

The area reflects long-standing Bedouin use where camels were central to travel and local trade routes; modern safaris sit alongside this heritage.
