Sandboarding in Merzouga Desert

Sandboarding in Merzouga Desert

Overview:

Sandboarding, also known as dune surfing, has long been a favorite hobby and the best sport among Moroccan nomads and Merzouga desert youngsters.
The adults will recall that they utilized a variety of homemade materials to practice sandboarding at Merzouga when they were younger.

On our Morocco tour to the desert, sandboarding in Morocco’s Great Merzouga desert dunes is a fantastic opportunity to mix adventure and exploration. Even while camel rides are the desert’s most famous attraction, it has recently emerged as a preferred location for numerous sporting competitions that encourage you to indulge in your interests and adventures. Skating can also be done on sand dunes, despite the misconception that it can only be done on ice and snow. Sandboarding, also known as sand surfing, has become a wonderful sport for both novices and experts in the boarding world.

At the dunes of Erg Chebbi, Morocco, travelers enjoy the sport of sandboarding in Merzouga. This activity draws lovers eager to travel to the desert from all over the world. Additionally, because there is absolutely no chance of getting hurt, it is not a risky sport.

Sandboarding is best to be done in some specific situations and at particular times, though. As an illustration, it is preferable to sandboard after a rainy day since the solidified sand will make for a better slide down. Additionally, because the sand can get quite hot at times, especially in the summer, it is safer to do it early in the morning or late at night.

Although there are several desert regions in Morocco, only one stands out for sandboarding, Merzouga; a small village in southeastern Morocco that is known for its proximity to Erg Chebbi and is a popular destination for tourists to practice sandboarding. It has been described as “a desert theme park” and the Erg Chebbi as “a wonderland of sand

Tour Plan:

Sandboarding in Merzouga Desert

In order to enjoy the sandboarding activity, we will pick you up by camel and take you to the deep dunes at the Erg-Chebbi after lunch in your hotel or riad in Merzouga.

To ensure that you can play the game correctly and securely, we’ll give you access to the sky and free time to do all the possible sandboarding actions. Remember that the higher you climb, the better the ride down and the faster your board will take you.

Most of the time, whatever goes up must also come down. To make the work of ascending to the top completely worthwhile, you want to ride down the sand dune as quickly as you can in Merzouga’s big sand dunes, which were created just for enjoying sandboarding.

By doing all these and more in the Sahara of Merzouga, you will also be enjoying the sunset up the dunes of sand and taking the best pictures that you may ever take. Contact us for memorable memories in the desert of Morocco.

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.

Enjoyable trip The week in Morocco was very interesting and special. We not only enjoyed the local scenery, but also the considerate service. Hassan arranged the accommodation for us with local characteristics, and provided us with small gifts and local delicacies during the trip. All our requirements were well met by him and it was a very memorable and enjoyable trip.

Good memories 我参加了七天的摩洛哥之旅,想要提醒的是 要是想更深度游玩摩洛哥可以再久一点,可以八到十天,因为景点很分散,坐车的时常比较久。卡萨和马拉喀什值得好好玩,当然撒哈拉沙漠很壮观,很特别。导游Hassan是很贴心很友好的人,推荐给大家!而且可以根据大家的喜好进行调整行程,还有接机送机时的小礼物都让我感觉很幸福。It is hard to score the trip, because we and guide are not only like the business, We are like friends, like having fun with a Morocco local friend who will help you arrange all things well. And the accommodations he booked for us are nice. Also eating the traditional food of Morocco. Highly recommended!Thank you for taking me to see Morocco.
