The best desert safari clothing is comfortable, breathable and secure enough for getting in and out of a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Clothing and footwear
Choose loose or flexible clothing that respects local norms. Trainers or secure walking sandals are easier than slippery flip-flops for dunes and sandboarding. Closed shoes may be required for some buggy or quad-bike sessions.
Sun and temperature
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a secure hat for daylight. During winter, carry a light layer for sunset, sunrise or an overnight stay. Summer guests should avoid heavy fabric and ask how outdoor activity time is adjusted.
What to leave behind
Large bags, delicate jewellery and items easily damaged by sand are best left at the hotel. Protect phones and cameras in a zip pouch. Carry necessary medicine in its original packaging.
Motorised activities
Wear clothing that cannot interfere with controls, harnesses or protective equipment. Tie back long hair, remove loose accessories and follow every helmet, belt and route instruction.
