Overview
Quad Biking in Merzouga is the most active way to enjoy the dunes for an hour or two. It suits adventurous travelers, groups of friends and families with teens. No experience is needed, since the bikes are automatic and your guide adapts the route to your level. After a helmet fitting and a short safety briefing at the quad base, you follow your guide along flat sand and rocky tracks at the edge of Erg Chebbi, then onto rolling dunes as you gain confidence. You stop on a high crest for photos and a view across the sand. Late afternoon is the best time, when the heat drops.
