About the Merzouga enduro ride
The country around Merzouga is used for international rally training, and for good reason: within a few kilometres you find soft sand, hard stony plains, dry riverbeds and the edge of a real sand sea. This three-hour ride lets experienced riders try all of it with a guide who knows every track.
Bikes are 250 cc and 450 cc enduros, serviced after every ride, with full protective gear in all sizes. Your guide adjusts the route to your level after the first few kilometres and shows you how to ride in soft sand: weight back, steady throttle, look ahead.
This is not a ride for beginners. You should be comfortable riding off-road on a manual motorbike before you come.
