1-Hour Quad Biking & Sandboarding
Sixty minutes on an automatic quad, straight into the Sahara's tallest dunes — a summit stop for photos, a sandboard run down, and back in time for sunset drinks.
Big dunes, small time window.
You'll swing a leg over an automatic quad at our Merzouga office, get a quick safety briefing, then follow your guide straight into Erg Chebbi. No riding experience needed — the quads are easy to handle and the route is built for first-timers and thrill-seekers alike.
The ride climbs to a 120-metre dune for panoramic views, then hands you a sandboard for the run back down before you loop home. One hour, door to door.
Four things people remember most.
