The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you go
Drink water before departure and use the provided water — desert air is dry and dune-bashing raises heart rate.
Layer up for the evening
Temperatures drop quickly after sunset; bring a light jacket even if the day is hot.
Secure loose items
Dune-bashing is bumpy — store phones and cameras in zip pockets or a padded case.
Respect local customs
Modest clothing during transfers and when around local staff helps avoid misunderstandings.

Conservation Note
Choose operators who follow reserve permits and avoid off-track driving; limiting artificial light and litter preserves nocturnal wildlife and the star view.
The dunes around Dubai were traditionally traversed by Bedouin camel caravans; many modern desert experiences borrow elements of that hospitality and coffee rituals.
