Temperature versus comfort
The number on the forecast is only part of the story. Humidity near the coast, wind in open desert and the heat stored in sand all influence how it feels. Check the forecast on the day and dress for evening temperatures.
Sandstorms and haze
Dust can reduce visibility and affect photos. Light haze is normal; heavy wind may lead to changes in plans. We make safety decisions and keep you informed.
Rain
Rain is uncommon but when it falls, dunes can look spectacular afterwards. Safari plans may change for safety if the surface becomes unsafe.
