Wear practical layers

Choose closed shoes with good grip, long lightweight trousers and a breathable top. Desert temperatures can shift quickly around sunrise and sunset, so bring a light outer layer in cooler months.

  • Closed shoes
  • Long breathable trousers
  • Secure sunglasses
  • Light scarf or neck covering
  • Light jacket for winter evenings

Protect yourself and your equipment

Use high-SPF sunscreen before leaving the hotel. Dust can enter loose bags and phone cases, so keep electronics in a sealed pouch when you are not taking photographs. A wrist strap is safer than holding a phone loosely while riding.

  • SPF 30 or higher
  • Water in a reusable bottle
  • Sealed phone or camera pouch
  • Medication you may need

Before you ride

Tell the operator about your experience level and any mobility or medical concern. Follow the guide’s route, safety briefing and helmet instructions. Abrar Travel can arrange private pickup, timing around the heat and a route suited to beginners, families or experienced riders.
