Guest guidance

Responsible desert visits in Merzouga

Motorized desert activities should remain guide-led and considerate of local people, wildlife and the landscape.

Follow the guide

Stay with the group and follow route, spacing and stopping instructions. Do not leave the guided activity to create a self-directed route.

Leave no waste

Keep bottles, packaging and personal items with you until they can be disposed of properly. Secure lightweight items against wind.

Keep noise considerate

Avoid unnecessary engine noise during stops and near homes, animals or quiet visitor areas.

Respect wildlife

Do not chase, feed, surround or deliberately disturb animals. Follow the guide when sensitive areas need to be avoided.

Ask before photographs

Request permission before photographing local residents, guides at close range or private homes. Accept a refusal without pressure.

Visit families respectfully

A tea stop or local visit is not a staged attraction. Follow the host’s guidance, respect private spaces and avoid intrusive photography.

Plan a guided experience

Compare durations and total per-buggy prices before requesting availability.
