1-Hour Buggy Drive in Merzouga Desert
Meet at the operator's Merzouga meeting point (location confirmed after booking). Check-in and sign a safety acknowledgment, receive helmets and bottled water, and attend a short driving and safety briefing (~10 minutes). Drive your 2-seat buggy across the sand dunes for the remainder of the hour while your guide follows in a separate buggy, stopping for photos and short breaks as safety permits. Return to the meeting point at the end of the hour.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear closed-toe shoes and sunglasses; sand can get hot and loose—avoid flip-flops while driving.
- Bring sunscreen and a lightweight scarf for wind/sand protection; keep cameras on a secure strap during stops.
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to allow check-in and the mandatory safety briefing.
