Overview

Quad and Buggy in Merzouga

A quad and buggy ride in Erg Chebbi, Merzouga, lasts one hour. Prices start from €50 for 1 person on a quad, €60 for 2 people and €120 for a buggy. You go with a local guide across the dunes near Merzouga.

Quad bikes and buggies are the fast way to see the dunes. In one hour you cover ground that would take much longer on foot or by camel, with sand flying and the horizon wide open.

You can ride together on one quad, from €60 for 2 people, or drive solo, from €50 for 1 person. A buggy starts from €120. Choose a quad for a bike-style ride, or a buggy for a seat with more room and a rollcage.

A local guide leads the way and shows you the best tracks. Many travellers pair this with a sunset camel ride or the 4x4 excursion with the nomads, to see the desert at different speeds.
