The camel ride through the Sahara desert in Merzouga starts before sunset, with timing varying based on the season. The ride takes about half an hour to reach the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Once there, we leave the camels a short distance away and climb the dunes to watch the sunset. For those seeking a panoramic view of the desert, a short climb to the top of a dune offers stunning sights. However, the area near where the camels are parked is also a great spot to enjoy the sunset. After this experience, you can either return to town or stay overnight at a desert camp, depending on your tour. Local guides, experienced in leading camel treks and familiar with the desert, will accompany you throughout the journey.

Sandboarding is a sport similar to snowboarding, but it takes place on the soft sand of desert dunes instead of snowy slopes. This activity is popular in desert regions and coastal areas with sandy dunes. To enjoy sandboarding, you need a board and slide down the dunes with both feet strapped in, though some people prefer to go without straps. It is less popular than snowboarding, partly because there are no lifts on sand dunes, so you have to walk back up. Experienced local guides are available to assist with this activity.

In this activity, we explore the small towns around Erg Chebbi, including Merzouga and Khamlia, where we meet the locals who might show us spots to see desert foxes. In Khamlia, we are warmly welcomed with a cup of mint tea while enjoying their traditional Gnawa music. After leaving Khamlia, we head to a scenic viewpoint of the golden dunes near the Algerian border. We also visit a nomadic family at their home, where they care for livestock such as cattle, goats, and camels. Here, we learn about their way of life while enjoying a cup of tea. Next, we visit an area with black volcanic rocks and continue to admire the beautiful dunes around a seasonal lake (only present in spring). The tour ends back at the hotel for lunch and relaxation. This experience is led by local guides who are skilled in 4x4 driving and familiar with the area.

The quad and buggy rides around the Merzouga dunes are very popular and offer a magical experience. You can enjoy the thrill of riding through the sand dunes and even choose to stay overnight in a desert camp. The best way to explore the Merzouga desert on a quad is with our services, guided by experienced locals who know the terrain well. They will lead you on a journey through the dunes, including areas near the Algerian border. Our company provides excellent guides and services to make your quad or buggy adventure through the desert unforgettable.
