2 Hours Merzouga Desert Quad Bike
Two hours deep into Erg Chebbi: bigger dunes, hidden valleys, a tea stop with a nomad family and time to really enjoy the ride.
Two hours is the sweet spot for most riders: enough time to feel at ease on the quad and still have energy to go further. After the briefing we ride straight into the dunes and follow the long valleys that cross Erg Chebbi from north to south.
Halfway, we stop at a nomad tent where a Berber family offers mint tea and shows how they live in the desert. On the way back your guide takes you up to a high crest with a 360° view of the dunes, the black desert and the Algerian border hills.

Good to know
Wear closed shoes and long trousers. Rides leave at the time you choose; in summer we recommend sunrise or sunset.
No payment is needed to book: you pay on the day in cash (dirhams or euros). Free changes if the weather is not good.
Before you ride
Do I need experience to ride a quad?
No. The quads are automatic and you get a briefing and a short practice on flat sand before entering the dunes.
Can children ride?
Drivers are usually 16 or older. Younger children can ride as passengers with an adult on a duo quad or in a buggy. We confirm the details when you book.
What should I wear?
Closed shoes, long trousers and sunglasses. We give you a helmet, goggles and a Berber scarf against the sand. In winter bring a warm layer for sunset.
What is the best time of day?
Morning and late afternoon, when the sand is cooler and the light is beautiful. In summer we ride only at sunrise and sunset.
