What to expect

  1. 1Merzouga – Erg Chebbi dunes – Merzouga
    Our team welcomes you at our base in Merzouga, or picks you up from your hotel or riad. After a safety briefing and a short practice session, you set off with your guide towards the dunes. The experience is adapted to your age, experience and fitness. First-timers start on gentle terrain to build confidence before heading into bigger dunes; experienced riders can tackle more challenging slopes. On longer rides you can visit oases hidden among the dunes, stop for tea with a nomad family and see the seasonal lake. Ride in the morning, or late afternoon to catch the sunset from the top of the dunes, some of which rise to about 150 m (500 ft). Merzouga is a small village in south-east Morocco on the edge of Erg Chebbi, one of the most beautiful desert landscapes in the country.

The quad bike tour in Merzouga was an unforgettable adventure. The sand dunes ride was a fantastic adventure full of challenging hills and breathtaking views. The quad was easy to use, and the instructors were pleasant and informative throughout the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone who finds themselves in the area.

Our first quad bike ride in Morocco was a success! The 2-hour quad bike experience was fantastic, and the staff were extremely friendly! Their top priority is safety, and everything went according to plan. Not to mention the stunning scenery! They also clean each ATV before you ride it! Overall, an amazing experience! This company comes highly recommended for a fantastic quad biking tour in Morocco!
Tina
Seeing the dunes from their highest point at sunset is truly breathtaking, and riding an ATV through this unusual terrain is a great experience for both adrenaline junkies and those who prefer to be more cautious. The quad bike tour with Said in Merzouga was one of the highlights of a jam-packed trip through Morocco. Said is attentive and knowledgeable about the region and Morocco in general. This tour is highly recommended for anyone visiting Merzouga! We will definitely book again the next time we visit.
