Bring layers: desert mornings/evenings can feel cool even when days are warm.
Pack comfortable walking shoes for medinas, archaeological sites, and uneven paths.
Sunscreen + sunglasses are essential (salt lake glare is strong).
A light scarf helps for wind/sand during 4x4 desert sections.
Keep some cash for souks, crafts, and small tastings (Makroudh, local shops).
A small daypack and water bottle will make day excursions easier.
Quick checklist
