What to Wear for an ATV or RZR Tour in Eilat

Practical guide for a comfortable and safe desert adventure

Published: 2026-07-15·4 min read

Quick Answer

Closed-toe shoes (sneakers) are mandatory for off-road tours. Clothing should be comfortable and dust-resistant as the trails are dusty. Long pants are recommended to protect your legs from engine heat, and sunglasses are highly advised.

An off-road tour in the Eilat mountains is an incredible experience. To ensure nothing distracts you from the speed and scenic views, you need to dress properly. Here are the recommendations from our guiding team.

👟 1. Footwear: Closed-Toe Only!

Flip-flops, sandals, and high heels are strictly forbidden. Small stones and dust fly up from under the wheels during the ride. The ideal choice is sneakers, trainers, or light hiking boots that fit securely on your feet.

👕 2. Clothing: Protection from Dust & Sun

We recommend wearing long pants (jeans, sweatpants, or leggings). This protects your legs from dust, stray branches, and engine heat. For the top, a lightweight T-shirt or long-sleeve shirt works best. Choose clothing you don't mind getting dirty — desert dust is very fine.

📅 3. Seasonal Tips

☀️ Summer

In summer, be sure to bring a hat for stops and apply sunscreen. It gets cooler in the evening, but the sun is still strong during the day.

❄️ Winter

In winter, the desert gets very cold after sunset. Make sure to bring a windbreaker, warm jacket, or hoodie.

🕶️ 4. Accessories

Bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from both sun and dust. If you don't have sunglasses, we will provide safety goggles free of charge. A bandana or buff is also useful to cover your face on faster sections of the route.

Proper clothing ensures both comfort and safety. By following these simple tips, you will get the most out of your Eilat desert tour. If you have any questions, just message us on WhatsApp!

Frequently Asked Questions about Gear

Will the desert dust wash out of my clothes?

Yes, regular desert dust washes out easily in a standard washing machine. However, we strongly recommend not wearing new or expensive clothes, as you will definitely get dusty during the tour.

Can I wear white clothing?

We highly recommend avoiding white clothes. Due to the fine desert dust, white clothing will quickly turn a dusty yellow during the ride, and it can be difficult to restore it to its original color.

Where can I leave my clean clothes and bags?

You can leave your bags, clean clothes, and other personal items safely and free of charge in a locker at our base, so you can change after the tour.

Do you provide face masks or bandanas?

We provide professional safety goggles and helmets free of charge. You can bring your own bandana or buff to protect your face, or purchase one at our base before starting.
