The desert has big temperature swings — warm days and cool nights. Here’s what to bring.
Clothing
Light, breathable layers for the day, plus a warm jacket or fleece for the evening. A scarf protects against sun and sand.
Footwear
Comfortable closed shoes for walking; sandals are handy at the camp.
Sun protection
Sunglasses, a hat, high-SPF sunscreen and lip balm are essential.
Desert-night essentials
A small flashlight or phone torch, a power bank, and a refillable water bottle. Camps provide blankets, but a warm layer helps.
Travel light
A small backpack is enough for an overnight in the dunes. Ready to go? See our Sahara tours.
