Wide Hat

Sunglasses

Make sure you have a good pair of sunglasses that offer UV protection. Protecting your eyes from the intense sunlight is crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable Sahara Desert trip.

Toiletries

Small Flashlight

While the desert camp provides most of your necessities, a small flashlight can be handy for navigating around the camp at night. Whether you want to stargaze or require additional light, a flashlight is a valuable tool when generators are turned off.

Travel First Aid Kit

Carry a well-stocked travel first aid kit to handle any unexpected situations. Be prepared for minor injuries, such as cuts, twisted ankles, upset stomachs, or headaches, ensuring a worry-free journey.

GPS or Maps

It’s crucial to have a reliable navigation tool when exploring the vast Sahara Desert. While apps like Google Maps are useful, remember to be prepared for limited or no internet connectivity. Hiring a local guide or carrying offline maps will ensure you don’t lose your way.
