Riding at Sunset in Erg Chebbi
As the sun lowers over Erg Chebbi, the dunes shift color and the desert cools after the heat of the day. Riding a quad at this time combines the thrill of the ride with one of the most visually striking moments in the Sahara — the changing light across the sand.
A sunset quad ride follows the same €35 per hour pricing as our standard quad experience. There is no special sunset surcharge. Simply let our team know that you would like to ride around sunset when you get in touch, and we will help confirm a suitable time based on availability.
