What the Experience Is Really Like

We'll collect you directly from your hotel, riad, or desert camp in Merzouga and take you to our departure point.

After fitting your helmet, goggles, and gloves, your guide explains how to control the quad bike before giving you time to practice on flat sand until you feel comfortable.

Once you're ready, it's time to head into the dunes.

You'll climb the spectacular golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, ride across untouched desert trails, and stop at incredible panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Sahara. The only sounds are your engine and the wind moving across the sand.

Depending on your chosen tour, you'll also visit a traditional Berber nomadic family for Moroccan mint tea, try sandboarding down the dunes, and discover remote parts of the Sahara that few visitors ever experience.

    We did the 2-hour quad tour and it was the highlight of our Morocco trip! The quad bikes were easy to ride, and our guide took us to some incredible viewpoints. Visiting the nomadic family and having mint tea was such a special experience. The sandboarding was so much fun! Definitely worth every euro.

    Booked the 1-hour quad tour for my son and I, and we had a fantastic time. The guide was patient and gave clear instructions. My son, who is 16, had never ridden a quad before and was riding confidently within minutes. The dunes are spectacular, and we got some amazing photos. Great value for money and highly recommended!

    We did the sunset quad tour and it was incredible! Riding over the dunes as the sun was setting was pure magic. The guide was friendly and took lots of photos for us. The 4-hour tour included a delicious lunch with a local family which was such a special experience. This was one of the best things we did in Morocco. Highly recommend!
