what to pack
Flashdance: A pair of very simple Moroccan flip flops called "Cabjuks"; 25 May 2007
Tmake sure you take a good sunscreen (SPF 30+); a good insect repellent will be very useful. Bring on the medicines you are used to take. Comfortable walking shoes, sandals, hat and natural fabrics (such as cotton or linen) clothes will be great. Also take something warm just in case. Don't forget a backpack, sandals and comfortable walking shoes that might be usefull if your planning to travel around.
Better take your medicines with you (esp. anti histamine tablets), as
the brands can be unfamiliar and cost more. By the way, getting medical
insurance would be a good idea.
And take a good protection for your camera from the sand.
