Safety Guidelines
Choose a reputable Tour Operator
- Make sure your driver is licensed and trained for desert driving. Safe navigation of the shifting sands requires special skills.
- The 4×4 vehicles used for desert safaris should be well serviced and should have safety features like roll bars and seatbelts.
- A good tour operator will give a safety briefing before the safari starts, explain what to expect, and how to stay safe.
Dress and Footwear
- The desert can be hot during the day. Wear light, breathable clothing of natural fibers such as cotton or linen.
- Long Sleeves and Pants will shield your skin from the sun’s rays. It reduces the chance of scratches from sand or plants.
- Carry a light jacket or sweater for the evening.
- Wear closed-toe shoes that protect your feet from hot sand.
Accessiories
- Carry sunglasses with you. It protects your eyes from the sun and sand reflection.
- Apply sunscreen to your exposed skin.
- Camel riding in the desert.
Hydration
- Bring extra water, even if water is provided. It is a good idea to bring your own supply.
- Try to take small sips frequently rather than large gulps at once.
- Alcohol can dehydrate you faster. So avoid it during your safari.
Follow the instructions during Safari
- Always keep your seatbelt on, hold the grab bars, and do not lean out of the windows during dune bashing.
- Get up and hold the saddle as the camel stands or sits. Follow the manual instructions for mounting and dismounting during camel riding.
- Stay close to the group during desert walks. Don’t wander off. The desert is confusing, and it’s easy to lose your way.
Sun Protection
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every two hours if you are sweating or have been swimming.
- When you can, rest in shaded locations, especially during the hottest part of the day ( between 12 PM and 3 PM).
- Wear a hat, sunglasses, and light, long-sleeved clothing to keep your skin covered and cool.
Desert Wildlife Safety
If you see animals like snakes, scorpions, or foxes, watch them from a distance. Do not attempt to feed or touch them. The risk of insect bites is lower in the desert, but it’s still wise to apply insect repellent. It is best in the evening.
First Aid Kit
Your tour operator should have a first aid kit, but you should bring your own small kit with your essentials, such as plasters, antiseptic wipes, pain killers, and any personal medications.
