Lightweight, breathable clothing for daytime desert heat
Warm layers for the evening – temperatures drop quickly at night
Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots for rocky terrain
Hat or cap to protect from the sun
Scarf or keffiyeh to shield from sun and sand
Sunscreen with high SPF
Sunglasses
Reusable water bottle (refillable at camps or before the tour)
Lip balm and moisturizer (desert air can be dry)
Wet wipes and hand sanitizer for quick clean-ups
Headlamp or flashlight (some camps have limited lighting)
Camera or smartphone with extra battery
Power bank for charging devices
Travel towel
Small daypack for carrying items during excursions
Notebook or journal if you're documenting your trip
Toiletries (toothbrush, paste, deodorant, etc.)
