Ten ways to experience the desert
Most visitors come to Merzouga for the dunes, but there is more than one way to enjoy them. Some people want speed, others want silence; some travel with children, others with a whole company. The activities on this page cover that range, and almost all of them can be combined in one trip.
For thrill seekers
Quad biking and dune buggies are the classic Erg Chebbi adventures and need no licence. Experienced riders can go further on motorcycle and enduro tours across desert pistes and mountain tracks.
For explorers
A 4x4 expedition covers the most ground in comfort, while overlanding and off-road campers suit travellers who want to roam for days. Bike trips show the oases and villages at a gentler pace.
For slow travel and special occasions
Nothing beats a night in a desert camp. Families, couples and honeymooners often choose private expeditions, and companies use the desert for team building.
How to combine activities
A popular plan is a quad or buggy ride in the late afternoon, a night in camp and a 4x4 tour of the oases and fossil sites the next morning. Our multi-day tours package exactly that. See the full list of tours for prices and durations.
