Sandboarding in Merzouga

Climbing a dune is hard work — sliding back down it is the reward. Sandboarding is simple to learn and very popular with families and younger travellers.

The experience

You can sit on the board like a sled or try standing if you have snowboarding experience. It is often added to a sunset camel trek or a night in camp.
