Reference prices, November 2026. Camel and horse rides are priced per person.
Camel ride
The classic: ride into the dunes at sunset or sunrise, when the sand turns orange and pink. €30 per person per hour. Reaching the camp usually takes one to two hours.
Horse ride
For riders or anyone wanting something different, following the edge of the dunes on horseback is special. €50 per person per hour, always with a local guide.
Quad bikes and buggies
The adrenaline option. A quad for 1 person is €50 per hour and for 2 people €80. For a shared ride, a 2-seat buggy is €120 per hour and a 4-seat buggy €300. A guide who knows the terrain always rides with you. See quad and buggy in Merzouga.
4×4 desert tour
In about 3 hours we circle the Erg Chebbi and, depending on the season, visit the village of Khamlia and its Gnaoua music, a nomad family who will invite you for tea, and the best viewpoints. €100 per vehicle — great value for a group.
Photographer session
A 2-hour photo and video session in the dunes, in the best light of the day, for €500. Perfect for honeymoons, proposals and content creators. More in desert photo shoot in Merzouga.

When to go
From October to April days are ideal, though December and January nights are cold. Summer is very hot, so activities happen early in the morning and at sunset.
All activities can be added to our desert tours, such as the 2-day Merzouga tour or the 3-day desert tour from Marrakech. Contact us to book.
