What should I bring on the sunrise safari?

Here's what to bring for the best experience:

Essential:

• Comfortable clothes (you'll be sitting in sand, moving around)
• Closed-toe shoes (sneakers or light hiking shoes—sandals aren't great for sandboarding)
• Sunglasses (the morning sun is bright and low on the horizon)
• Camera or smartphone (you'll want it for sunrise and activities)

Recommended:

• Light jacket or sweater (mornings can be cool, especially in winter)
• Sunscreen (even morning sun reflects off sand)
• Hat or cap (for after sunrise)
• Small backpack (to carry your stuff hands-free)

Optional:

• Extra camera battery (cold morning air drains batteries faster)
• Scarf or buff (traditional desert style, plus protects from sand)
• Any personal medications you need

Not needed:

• Water (we provide plenty throughout)
• Food (breakfast is included)
• Towels or blankets (available at camp)

Dress in layers—it starts cool and warms up quickly after sunrise.
