Who should avoid dune bashing?

Due to high-speed maneuvers, dune bashing is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with back/neck issues, or those prone to severe motion sickness.

What should I wear to the desert camp?

Modest, lightweight clothing for the day and a light jacket for the evening. In winter, temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.

Are vegetarian meals available?

Yes! Most reputable operators provide a full BBQ buffet with clearly labeled vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Shasa AI can help you confirm with specific providers.
