Sand rises and falls like a slow ocean around you; the quad engine hums, a steady companion as you push beyond the obvious ridgelines. In two hours around Merzouga you move from packed tracks at the dune bases into quieter gullies, past dried riverbeds and low Berber settlements where the wind has ironed patterns into every crest.

Hydrate before you go
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water in a small pack; desert riding dehydrates faster than steady walking.
Protect from the sun
Use a wide‑brim hat for pre/post-ride and high-SPF sunscreen — dust and reflection increase UV exposure.
Footwear and grippy gloves
Closed-toe shoes with ankle support and a pair of riding or work gloves improve control on rough stretches.
Follow the guide’s line
Guides know local soft-sand hazards and cultural boundaries — keep distances and obey hand signals during passes.
Closed‑toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet from sand, heat, and quick throttle corrections.
