Sandboarding
Sandboarding in Merzouga means climbing a big dune, then sitting or standing on a board and sliding down the soft sand. Simple, funny and great for all ages.

Erg Chebbi dunes

Every day
Sandboarding in Merzouga for everyone
Sandboarding in Merzouga is pure fun. The high, smooth dunes of Erg Chebbi are perfect for sliding down on a board, sitting or standing.
Your guide shows you how to sit, steer and stop, then picks a slope that fits your level. Add it to a quad, buggy or camel ride for a full desert afternoon.

How it works
We walk or ride to a good dune, wax the board and start on a small slope. When you feel ready, we go to a higher dune. The walk up is the hard part, the ride down is the fun part.
