The Merzouga Double Quad Experience
A double quad is a two-seater version of our standard quad bike, built for one driver and one passenger riding together. It is a natural fit for couples, friends, or family members who would rather share the ride than take separate vehicles, while still getting the same open, hands-on feel of riding across the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
Like our other quad and buggy experiences, the double quad is booked by the hour, so you choose how long you want to spend in the dunes. Only one person operates the controls at a time, with the second rider seated behind.
What You Can Expect
- A short safety briefing before you set off, covering the controls and basic riding technique for the driver.
- Riding together across desert tracks and dune edges around Erg Chebbi, guided by our local team.
- The chance to stop and take in views of the dunes as a pair.
- A flexible duration based on the number of hours you book.
Who It Is Suitable For
A double quad generally suits two people who want to ride together rather than book two separate single quads — for example couples, friends, or a parent riding with an older child or teenager. Only the driver needs to operate the vehicle; let our team know your group's plans when you contact us so we can advise on what fits best.
