The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate early and often
Carry at least 2–3 liters per person and refill when available—desert temperatures and sand hikes increase fluid needs.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Soft sand and short rock scrambles make trail-running shoes or light hiking boots a better choice than sandals.
Protect from the sun
Broad-brim hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+ are necessary; the sun is intense even in cooler months.
Respect archaeological sites
Do not touch or climb on petroglyphs and inscriptions—photograph from a distance and follow your guide’s instructions.
