The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you ride
Bring water and drink beforehand — bottled water is provided, but start hydrated to handle heat and dust.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Sand and gravel demand ankle support and toe protection; trainers or light hiking shoes are best.
Protect from sun and sand
Use a buff or bandana under goggles and apply sunscreen; onshore winds kick sand into faces.
Listen to the safety briefing
Practice the short tutorial and follow the guide’s pace—dunes and blind crests require controlled speed.

Conservation Note
Stay on established tracks to protect fragile dune vegetation and argan groves; support local cooperatives that promote sustainable argan harvesting.
