Dune Buggy Tours in Merzouga | Erg Chebbi

A dune buggy is a small off-road vehicle with seats side by side, a roll cage and seat belts. It suits couples and friends who want to share the experience, and travellers who prefer a steering wheel to handlebars.

Buggy or quad?

Buggy: two seats side by side, more stable, driven like a car.
Quad: one rider (sometimes with a passenger), more physical, handled like a motorbike.

Both are guided and follow routes chosen by the operator. Driving requirements are set by each operator — ask before booking if you are unsure.
