Pickup is between 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm depending on your hotel. You reach the dunes about an hour later, watch the sunset, spend three to four hours at the camp and are back at your hotel around 9:30 pm.

Loose, light clothing and closed shoes or sandals you do not mind getting sand in. Bring a light jacket from November to March, evenings get cool. Sunglasses and sunscreen for the dune stop.
