💡 Essential Desert Travel Tips
Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily in the desert. Bring electrolyte tablets and avoid alcohol during the day.
Use SPF 50+ sunscreen, wear a hat, and cover exposed skin. The desert sun is intense even in winter.
Light, loose-fitting, long-sleeved clothing is best. Avoid dark colors that absorb heat.
Bring portable chargers and protect devices from sand. Download offline maps before departure.
Stick to cooked foods and bottled water. Try local cuisine but be cautious with street food initially.
Respect local customs, ask before photographing people, and follow Leave No Trace principles.
