Sahara travel guides

Pack for the road and the camp

A useful bag is one you can carry easily and open without unpacking everything.

Keep a small road-day bag

Put a water bottle, sun protection, charger, tissues and your personal essentials within reach. Keep your travel documents with you. A bigger bag can stay separate from the things you use at stops.

Choose layers over a bulky wardrobe

Check the forecast before you leave. Pack layers you can add or remove, comfortable walking shoes and a hat. Bring the personal toiletries you need rather than assuming they are supplied at the camp.

Keep luggage manageable

A carry-on-sized bag and a small day bag are recommended. Tell us about extra luggage before your trip and confirm which bags you will take into camp.

Confirm what the camp provides

Ask about towels, bedding, charging access and bathrooms. Use the answers to finish your packing list. Keep necessary personal medication and valuables in your day bag.
