Choosing by Travel Style
For Families
We suggest a 4x4 desert tour plus the 2-day adventure. Both are safe and comfortable, and they keep every age group busy.
For Couples
Try a sunset buggy tour followed by a night of desert camping. It is a romantic way to see the dunes, with some action thrown in.
For Thrill Seekers
Go for the full-day quad tour and the 5-day off-road explorer. That is as much riding as we offer.
For Photographers
Book the sunrise tour and the Erg Chebbi tour. Between them you get the best light and the best locations.
For Budget Travelers
The 1-hour quad tour (€35) gives you a proper taste of the dunes at a low price.
