Essential Clothing for Off-Roading

  1. Breathable Layers:

    • The desert can be unpredictable with temperature swings from hot days to cooler evenings. Wear moisture-wicking, breathable base layers to stay dry and comfortable.

  2. Long Sleeves and Pants:

    • Protect your skin from the sun, sand, and potential scrapes by wearing lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and durable pants.

  3. Sun Protection:

    • A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses with UV protection, and a high-SPF sunscreen are must-haves to shield yourself from the intense Dubai Desert sun.

  4. Sturdy Footwear:

    • Opt for closed-toe shoes with good grip, such as hiking boots or trail shoes, to navigate the rugged terrain safely.




Must-Have Gear and Supplies

Helmets
At SAZ, we provide all riders with all essential safety equipment, as well as riding gear and jerseys if needed. We also provide bags filled with cold bottled water to quench your thirst while on tour.
