Before you go
I have never driven a quad. Is that OK?
Yes. Most of our riders are first-timers. You practise on flat sand first and your guide stays with you.
Is one hour enough?
Yes, for a first taste. You see big dunes and have time for photos. If you love it, the 2 hour ride goes deeper.
Can you pick me up?
Yes, we pick you up from your hotel or camp in Merzouga. Send us its name when you book.
What if the weather is bad?
On very windy days we change the time or the route, or move your trip to another day.
