Sandboarding in Merzouga
Merzouga, Morocco · with Achabou Luxury Camp
Climb a dune and slide down on a board – fun for children and adults.
About this activity
Sandboarding is like snowboarding, but on sand. Our team brings the boards and shows you how to stand or sit on them.
You climb a dune near the camp and slide down as many times as you want. It is best in the late afternoon, when the sand is not too hot.
Ask us on WhatsApp – we can combine sandboarding with your camel ride.

Sandboarding in Merzouga: good to know
Sandboarding in Merzouga with Achabou Luxury Camp: a small luxury desert camp with only six private tents at the foot of Erg Chebbi, the largest sand dunes of Morocco – 400 metres from the great dune and 1 km from Merzouga. Every tent has air conditioning, heating and its own bathroom with hot shower.
Why choose Achabou for sandboarding in Merzouga? Our local family team organises everything for you, our guests have dinner, breakfast and a camel ride included, and there is no deposit: you pay at the camp or on the day. Send us a message on WhatsApp or by email and we reply quickly.
Planning sandboarding in Merzouga? Please arrive at the camp between 16:00 and 16:30 if you stay with us, so you have time to settle in before the sunset. Children are welcome – tell us their ages when you write to us.
Achabou Luxury Camp is easy to reach: you can drive your own car to the camp (about 800 m from the paved road) or book a private transfer from Errachidia, Fez or Ouarzazate. A camel ride at sunset or sunrise, dinner by the fire and the silence of the Sahara make every stay special.
With only six tents, the camp is always calm. Sandboarding in Merzouga is one of the experiences our guests remember most from their trip to the Sahara, together with the stars over the dunes and a Moroccan breakfast with the first light on the sand.
