IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please note that transportation, lodging, and dining services are not included in the tour package. Additionally, group tours must be scheduled a minimum of four weeks in advance and based on availability.
Desert X is mostly an outdoor exhibition, and temperatures in the desert can fluctuate to extremes at times. As such, it’s essential to come prepared with appropriate clothing and sun protection. Walking is required in most cases to access the artworks, so wearing comfortable shoes is highly recommended. If any members of your group have specific accommodation needs, we are more than happy to work with you to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience fully. Review our FAQ here.
