Always wear suitable clothing: closed shoes, hat to protect you from the sun, and prefer light but covering clothing to avoid sunburn and irritation caused by sand.
It is important to listen carefully to the instructions given by the guide, especially regarding how to get up, down and position yourself on the dromedary. Always keep your hands and feet in place to avoid falls.
Don't forget to take enough water to stay hydrated during the walk and provide effective sun protection.

Focus on covering clothing, including long sleeves and pants, to protect your skin from UV rays and friction. A wide-edge hat or scarf to cover the head is also essential to protect you from the sun.
