Merzouga quad tours for every rider

A short ride is a fun introduction; a longer one takes you deep into Erg Chebbi, where the dunes rise to around 150 metres and the silence is total.

Where we ride
Erg Chebbi: Morocco’s great sand sea
Erg Chebbi is a field of tall orange dunes rising out of the flat stony desert of south-east Morocco, near the villages of Merzouga and Hassilabied. It stretches for more than 20 kilometres from north to south, and its highest dunes reach around 150 metres.
Short rides explore the western edge of the dunes near Merzouga village. Longer Merzouga quad tours go deeper into the sand sea and out into the wide desert around it.

It depends on the duration and the vehicle. Quad prices are per quad and buggy prices are per buggy; overnight packages are per person. See our prices page for the full list.
Do I need experience to ride a quad in Merzouga?
No. Our quads are automatic and every ride starts with a briefing and a short practice. Your guide adapts the route and speed to the least experienced rider.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
