Overview
Merzouga is a small desert village at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, one of the most beautiful sand seas in Morocco. From here, you can join a quad biking tour that takes you off the beaten track, away from the crowds and deeper into the desert. Before you start, your guide will give a short briefing so you feel confident and safe, even if it is your first time on a quad bike. You will learn how to use the gas and brakes, how to follow the track in the sand, and how to keep a safe distance. Then you will follow your guide through small dunes, desert plateaus, and viewpoints where you can stop for photos and to enjoy the silence of the Sahara.
