ENDURO TOUR FAQ
Everything riders ask before booking a guided enduro tour from Merzouga into the Moroccan Sahara.
Riding level & licence
Do I need enduro experience to ride the Merzouga dunes?
It is not essential for the 3-day loop, but off-road experience is recommended. Dune sessions start progressively on compact sand and the guide adapts the pace. The 5- and 6-day expeditions suit riders already comfortable off-road.
Which driving licence do I need?
A valid category A motorcycle licence. If your licence is not valid in Morocco, bring an international driving permit.
How fit do I need to be?
Desert riding is physical, especially in soft sand. Good general fitness makes every stage safer and more enjoyable.
Bikes, gear & support
Which motorcycles do you use?
A KTM enduro fleet prepared for deep sand, fast piste and rocky passes. Ask about the bikes available for your dates when you enquire.
Can I rent riding gear?
Yes. Helmet, boots, body armour, riding clothes, gloves and goggles are available. You can also bring your own kit.
What safety gear is mandatory?
Helmet, enduro boots, chest protector, knee guards and gloves.
Is there a support vehicle?
Yes. A 4×4 chase vehicle carries luggage, water, tools, common spares and fuel support, and meets the riders at planned points on accessible tracks.
Is a mechanic included?
Yes. A dedicated mechanic travels with the group and inspects every motorcycle daily.
