The first thing is not to walk in new shoes to avoid blisters. It's best to use good trekking sandals, upper or lower hiking boots and socks. Sometimes blisters can appear as a result of rubbing and perspiration. Make sure you bring some compeed !

No, it's not possible to take a shower when you're immersed in the desert. However, on one day when we'll be passing a well, you'll be able to pour water over yourself while still dressed. You can take your first shower at the fixed bivouac on the last day. Each room has a shower. Bring your own soap or shower gel as they do not provide any. The
towels are provided at the fixed bivouac.

What about natural needs?

A lightweight hiking pant will be perfect, along with a hat, cap, or headscarf, and a short-sleeve t-shirt for the hot periods. You will be in a Muslim country, which means it is advisable to avoid wearing skirts, shorts, transparent clothes, or t-shirts without a bra.
