Imagine four hours on a KTM 450 EXC-F, the same bike that wins Erzbergrodeo, threading through Saharan dunes and rocky dry-river tracks with a Berber guide who's ridden this exact circuit since childhood. The Half-Day Enduro Ride is our most-booked tour — long enough to feel like proper off-road, short enough to fit into any Morocco itinerary.
Your four hours on the bike.
-
08:30 · Hotel pickup in Merzouga
Welcome coffee & bike fit
We collect you, drive 10 minutes to our base, and greet you with mint tea. We adjust the bike to your height, take you through the controls, and run a quick safety briefing.
-
09:00 · Sand basics on flat ground
Sand-riding fundamentals
Thirty minutes on the flats learning throttle control, body position and how to read sand. Beginners especially — by the time we hit real dunes you'll feel confident.
-
09:30 · Erg Chebbi dunes
Into the dunes
Two hours threading the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi. We climb Chebbi's tallest dune (150m), stop for hero-shots, and where possible drop into untouched bowls.
-
11:30 · Off-piste rocky tracks
Contrast — rocks & palmeraie
The terrain shifts: we leave the dunes and drop into rocky descents and shaded palm-grove tracks. Cool air, technical corners, photo stops.
-
12:30 · Back to base
Cool down, debrief, drop-off
Back to base by 12:30. Showers available. We send you the photos from the day. If you booked a transfer, we drop you back at your hotel.

What people say about this tour.
Picked the half-day as our first Sahara experience. Three of us with zero off-road. Our guide got us riding dunes with confidence. Genuinely the highlight of our 12 days in Morocco.
Booked a week before, WhatsApp'd back in 20 minutes, picked us up at the hotel. Two hours into the dunes I'd stopped overthinking and just rode. Worth every dirham.
