What to Bring for Your Agafay Quad Tour

Long trousers and long sleeves are recommended — they protect against dust thrown up on the tracks and against sun exposure during the ride.

Trainers or walking shoes are ideal. Sandals and flip-flops are not suitable for riding — your feet need to be secured at all times.

Useful to cover your face against track dust, especially on longer rides or in dry, windy conditions.

Essential. UV-rated lenses are preferable, especially if you are sensitive to glare on the open rocky terrain.

Apply before leaving — SPF 30 minimum. Agafay's open landscape offers little shade and the sun reflects off the rocky ground.

Useful during breaks, the camel ride and any time you are not wearing a helmet. It also helps with the heat on summer tours.

Bring a small bottle in your bag. The physical effort combined with the heat can dehydrate you quickly, especially in summer. Water is generally available on site, but having your own for the journey is a good idea.

Agafay's landscapes are genuinely worth photographing. Make sure your device is charged before departure — there are no charging options on the tracks.

If you take regular medication, keep it with you. Inform your guide of any medical condition before the tour starts.

For tips and any personal expenses on site. Card payment terminals are not available at the desert camps or track sites.

Evenings in Agafay can cool down noticeably, especially between October and April. If you are booked on a sunset tour, bring a light jacket or extra layer.

Daytime temperatures in July and August can reach 40°C or above. Consider booking an early morning or sunset departure and increase your water intake on the day.

Track dust stains easily. Dark or earth-toned clothing is a practical choice for quad biking.

The quad vibrates and bounces on the rocky terrain. Fragile objects and loose jewellery can easily be damaged or lost.

A small backpack or belt bag is ideal. Large luggage is impractical on a quad and should be left at your accommodation.
