A nine-day private enduro raid out of Erfoud that threads Erg Chebbi dunes, Ziz River canyon and high desert passes. Expect six long off-road stages (155–175 km/day), hotel nights in Erfoud, mechanical and medical support, and demanding sand riding.

The engines wake up before dawn in Erfoud, a line of enduro bikes shading their bright plastics against a desert sunrise. Sand steals the warmth of daylight while the first stage stretches toward the pre-dunes and the immense slopes of Erg Chebbi; wind-sculpted ridges rise and fall like a roadless ocean daring you to cross.

History
This region sits along historic trans-Saharan caravan routes; towns like Rissani grew as trading and cultural crossroads, and mausoleums such as Moulay Ali Cherif mark local dynastic history.
Conservation
The dunes and oases are fragile—stay on established tracks where possible, pack out waste, and minimize water use to protect scarce desert resources.

Start early to avoid midday heat
Daily stages cover long distances and desert temperatures spike midday—ride pre-dawn when sand is firmer and visibility is best.
Hydration and electrolyte plan
Carry a 2–3L hydration bladder and electrolyte mixes—water is limited on routes and exertion is high.
Bring essential spares and tools
Pack spare inner tubes, a clutch cable, basic tools and a puncture kit—the paddock helps but immediate fixes save time.
Practice dune techniques beforehand
Train sand-specific skills (throttle control, body position, recovery) to reduce risk and fatigue on soft sand sections.
Off-road helmet with peak
Protects against falls, sun and sand; a good visor helps with glare and dust.
Full-body protection (armor and off-road jacket)
Chest/back armor and reinforced pants reduce injury risk on rocky tracks and dune dumps.
Hydration pack (2–3L)
Keeps you hydrated during long stages where water stops are limited.
