OUTFIT: sunset desert safari

While I am sitting at my desk with a warm cashmere sweater layered over my striped blouse, it is hard to believe that not even 2 weeks ago, I was in Abu Dhabi wearing palazzo pants and short sleeves. A trip to the desert is definitely one of the must-dos when visiting the Emirates. I’ve been on 2 sunset desert safaris, as well as taken a tour with the quads before, and it is always a guaranteed good time (as long as you have a strong stomach). When planning a look for the dunes, there are a few things to keep in mind: It will be hot, sandy and super windy! Try to go for something comfortable, light fabrics and clothes that will stay put, even with crazy winds – check out min. 1:18 of our Follow Us Around video to see what I am talking about … For the occasion, I packed my beloved palazzo pants, sneakers (which ended up picking up about a kilo of sand thanks the the lace) and a light top. A crossbody bag is also a great option, as you’ll have your hands free to capture the sunset and endless dunes with your camera.
