Practical tips

A few things that make the Sahara days more comfortable (and more photogenic).

Bring a light scarf (cheche) for wind and sand — and it looks great in photos.
Pack layers: mornings and nights can be chilly in the desert, even when days are warm.
Closed-toe shoes are best for ksour + rocky village paths.
For the salt lake: sunglasses are a must — the glare is intense.
If you plan quad/camel rides, carry some cash for local providers.

Quick checklist

  • • Sunscreen + lip balm
  • • Sunglasses (salt lake glare)
  • • Light scarf (wind/sand)
  • • Closed-toe shoes
  • • Power bank for photo days
