Things to know Before you go

  • Sandboarding can be hot and exhausting, so make sure you wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothes that will keep you cool and protected from sunburn. Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Jeans or shorts and a t-shirt are perfect.
  • Bring plenty of water. You will be sweating and need to stay hydrated. It is also wise to bring along water and sun protection so that you can stay hydrated and protected from the sun during your session.
  • Choose your dune carefully. You want one that is not too steep and has soft, powdery sand for the best experience.
  • It is important to choose the right dune for your skill level. If you are a first-timer, head for a smaller dune with a gentle slope. More experienced hikers should look for bigger and steeper hills; these will provide thrills but also ensure your safety.
  • Make sure that you stretch properly before heading out onto the dunes and take regular breaks during the session to avoid any accidents or injuries.
  • The desert sun can be brutal, so be sure to wear sunscreen and cover up as much as possible. A hat and sunglasses will help keep the sand out of your eyes, too.
  • If you have never tried sandboarding before, fear not—the dunes are much softer than snow slopes, so there is no need to worry about crashing or falling off your board.
  • Have your camera ready as you venture to snap beautiful pictures.
