Before heading to Sandana for sandboarding, there are a few things you should know. Firstly, wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes, as you’ll be walking up and down the dunes. Sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water are essential, as the desert can get quite hot, especially in the summer months. It's also a good idea to bring sunglasses and protective gear like knee and elbow pads if you're concerned about falling. Be ready to have fun but also be cautious when going down steeper dunes. Most tours will provide all necessary equipment, but check with your tour operator beforehand.
