Erg Chebbi & the Sahara
Desert Adventure in Merzouga
Merzouga sits on the edge of the Sahara, beside the Erg Chebbi dunes — one of the most striking desert landscapes in Morocco.
Things to Do Around Merzouga
Merzouga is known primarily for its proximity to Erg Chebbi, a large expanse of sand dunes that draws visitors from across the world. Quad biking and buggy driving are two of the most direct ways to explore this landscape, letting you cover ground across the dunes and desert tracks under your own control.
Beyond quad and buggy rides, the wider Merzouga area is shaped by its desert setting and by the Berber (Amazigh) communities who live around it. The dunes themselves change appearance throughout the day, and sunrise and sunset are widely considered the most striking times to be among them.
A quad or buggy adventure works well as one part of a broader visit to Merzouga and Erg Chebbi. Whatever else is on your itinerary, our team can help you fit a quad or buggy ride into your schedule — including at sunrise or sunset.
