Merzouga Quad Biking Tour

Tour Details

Get your adrenaline going with the Merzouga Quad Biking Tour, an ATV ride into the heart of the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Guided by an expert Berber, you ride across the sand and desert tracks with plenty of stops for photos — a fun, exciting adventure suitable for all levels, including complete beginners.

After a short safety briefing and a practice loop, you follow your guide out along the base of the dunes, through palm groves and past nomad camps, feeling the thrill of the open desert. The route balances excitement with scenery, and can be timed to finish at sunset for spectacular light over the sand.

The Merzouga Quad Biking Tour runs in 1 to 2-hour sessions and can be combined with a camel trek, a 4×4 excursion or an overnight in a desert camp. Helmets and instruction are provided, and the activity operates year-round, usually in the cooler morning or late-afternoon hours.
