Sandboarding in Merzouga
What to Expect
Sandboarding in Merzouga is one of the popular activities tourists can do during their visit to Erg Chebbi Dunes. Besides, having more days in the Sahara Desert will be a chance to explore and do many activities such as Yoga, Sandboarding, visit Nomads, listening to Gnaoua music, relaxation, and Meditation all in the Sahara Desert.
Sandboarding is a boardsport and extreme sport similar to snowboarding that involves riding across or down a sand dune while standing on a board, either with both feet strapped in or while standing loose, without bindings. Sandboarding can also be practiced sitting down or lying on the belly or the back.
- Is sandboarding difficult?
- Is sandboarding easy? Sandboarding is not difficult if you have the proper equipment and wax your board thoroughly. A good quality sandboard, sandboarding wax, and dry environmental condition are essential for a smooth and fast ride.
- The best place to do sandboarding in Morocco
- Merzouga dunes consider one of the best places to do sandboarding in Africa, its high dunes make it more accessible to skating and more fun.
The Moroccan Sahara of Erg Chebbi is one of the most important desert adventure and travel experiences in Morocco. Sandboarding is a very popular activity in the Merzouga desert. However, it's a must-do activity when spending time in the desert camp. Once you reach your camp you take a camel ride tour in Merzouga.
We climb the Merzouga desert's high dunes and sandboard for an hour or so. Sandboarding in Morocco or Dune surfing has been a popular pastime for Nomads and desert children in Morocco for many years. Therefore, thinking back to their childhood. The adults will tell you that they used to use a wide range of self-made materials to go Sandboarding.

Our Testimonials
The best way to experience Morocco
Morocco is a beautiful country to visit with incredible natural beauty, amazing old cities (Medina), the nicest people and vibrant culture. A truly land of contrasts. My mom and I stayed for ten days. Seven of those ten days were planned through Begaa Tours. We made a round trip in the country that started and ended in Marrakech. We visit Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes, Midelt, Tinghir, Merzouga, Ouarzazate and several other small villages and towns in between.
I can not stress enough how amazing Begaa Tours was in showing us this wonderful country. Ahmed, our driver/guide, was terrific. He really knew his history and the fun facts of all the regions we've been through. He was a safe driver and super flexible about what my mom and I were interested in and what we didn't want to see. Begaa Tours is open to tailoring the best experience for you; I enjoyed all the Riads, Hotels, and Experiences they provided. Morocco wouldn't be that amazing without Begaa Tours. Thanks, guys!
The Best Morocco Tour!!
Begaa Tours tailored our amazing 14 day tour of Morocco to suit our personal travel style. They included hotel, riad and camping options to cater to our preferred accommodation type and organised transport to suit our small group of 8 (2 X 4WD Toyota Prados) Our two tour guides, Ahmed and Muhammad, were so professional, knowledgeable, willing and able. Nothing was too much trouble for them to handle or fix at any time. They both had friendly personalities with big smiles on their faces and great senses of humour to boot. They were both excellent drivers and took us to see the best of Morocco including Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech, the Ziz Valley, the Atlas Mountains, the Essourian coast, the Sahara, and so much more in between. This interesting, diverse and very colourful country is a must for all to see. You could not find a better tour company to take you on a more magical journey than we have just had. Thank you BEGAA TOURS. You are "The Best"!! 'Mushi Mushka'!!
Begaa Tours Moroccan experience
This was an excellent experience with great tour guides looking at all the excellent places in Morocco. The accomodation was great, from Riads in the old cities to desert tents and more modern accomodation.
Both Ahmed & Mohammed were full of knowledge, and accomodating of our needs. The Camel ride in the Desert was an experience as well, from sand storms, to rain and clear skies the next morning. I would recommend Begaa Tours, and definitely do it again
NO BETTER WAY TO SEE MOROCCO
Our unbelievable 14 days with Begaa Tours in Morocco started in Casablanca and finished in Marrakech travelling through Rabbat, Meknes, Chefchaouen the blue city and onto Fes with 2 days to explore this amazing ancient city. Moving on to the Ziz Valley near Aoufous, we stayed in a beautiful hotel overlooking the date palm hub of Morocco. Our 2 hr guided walk with Said through the local farming plots under the date palms was a fantastic way to witness the day to day life of the village families working their farming plots. On our arrival at Et Taous the camels were waiting to begin our 1 1/2 hour afternoon trek into the Sahara Desert at sunset for our amazing overnight 'glamping experience'...wow this tour is amazing! The breathtaking drive over the High Atlas Mountains heading through Marrakech en route to the coastal city of Essaouira for a relaxing day and last minute shopping.
Another family member had previously travelled with Begaa Tours on 2 other occasions and had assured us of the high standard they deliver. WELL DONE Ahmed and Mohammed, your are true professionals and your guiding skills and knowledge of your amazing country are first class...the Riads were excellent...we will always remember our Moroccan Adventure with Begaa Tours.
