A wonderful way to cover up the gap in your neck is to add a beaded necklace. And a comfortable pair of Birkenstocks or clogs is also essential. Waterproof makeup and sunscreen can ensure your fresh look.

 For men, polo tees, short-sleeve shirts, shorts and flip-flops complete a causal look. But bright oversized t-shirts and floral-printed t-shirts may be a more fashionable choice. For the beach look, tank top and swimming trunks are fresh and neat. And a pair of trendy sunglasses will make your look more stylish. 

 Others: Since the climate is very hot and dry, sunscreen, parasol, moisturizing spray and hand-held mini fan will guarantee a more comfortable trip.
