Dunes, coastal tracks and red-earth countryside: a quad or buggy tour is a fun way to see the wild side of Mirleft. Here's how to choose a good one.
Behind the beaches of Tamelalt, Aglou and Mirleft lies a landscape of dunes, cliff-top tracks, argan trees and tiny villages. A quad bike tour in Mirleft or a buggy ride is a fun way to explore it, and a favourite half-day out for groups of friends and families with teenagers.
What a typical tour looks like
Most outings last one to three hours. After a short briefing and a test lap, a guide leads the group along sandy tracks and dirt roads, with stops at viewpoints over the ocean. Longer tours head inland through the countryside and may include a mint tea in a village. Sunset tours are especially popular.
Quad or buggy?
Quad: more physical and more fun on sandy tracks. One or two people per quad, depending on the operator.
Buggy: a small off-road car with seat belts and a roll cage. More comfortable for passengers and better with children.
Choosing a responsible operator
Quality varies, so take a few minutes to check. A good operator provides helmets, keeps the machines in good condition, sends a guide with every group and sticks to established tracks. Avoid anyone who rides through protected dunes, close to swimmers or across fragile cliff edges. Ask about insurance and age limits before you book.
What to wear
Closed shoes and long trousers.
Sunglasses or goggles, and a scarf or buff against the dust.
Sun cream, water and a light jacket for sunset tours.
Prefer something quieter?
If engines aren't your thing, explore the same coast on horseback (see our guide to horse riding on the beach), by bike, or on foot along the coastal paths around Mirleft.
