You need less than you think, but a few items make all the difference.

  • A sleeping bag rated to 0°C (Dec–Feb) or 5°C (other months)
  • Broken-in walking shoes and light sandals for camp
  • A long cotton scarf (chèche) against sun and sand
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen and lip balm
  • A headlamp with spare batteries
  • A warm fleece for evenings
  • A reusable water bottle — we provide filtered water

Our 4x4s and camels carry the heavy luggage, so you only walk with a daypack.
