What to Pack for the Sahara Desert: Ultimate Packing List

What to Pack for the Sahara Desert: Ultimate Packing List

Packing for a Sahara Desert expedition requires a balance between heat protection during the day and warmth during the night, when temperatures drop drastically.

We recommend bringing loose, breathable clothing made from natural fibers like linen or lightweight cotton. Long sleeves and pants are essential to protect your skin from both the sun and the desert wind.

Do not forget sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and a lightweight scarf or shesh to protect your head and face. For the evenings, make sure you pack a warm sweater, a windproof jacket, and warm socks.
