Merzouga Sandboarding Adventure

The experience

Sandboarding turns the dunes into a playground. Climbing the slopes is half the adventure; the ride back down, with sand spraying behind you, is the part people remember.

It suits curious first-timers and confident boarders alike, and it pairs naturally with a camel trek or an evening at camp.
