First visit

What to bring—and what to leave in the bag

  • Government-issued ID: age and admission policies are checked at arrival.
  • Two towels: one for sitting and one for drying, unless the venue provides or rents them.
  • Sunscreen, sandals and water: desert heat is serious, especially in summer.
  • A small lock: useful where lockers are available.
  • Keep phones and cameras put away: privacy rules are stricter than at an ordinary hotel pool.
