Can pregnant women participate in the tours?
For the safety of both mother and child, we strongly advise against participation in any quad or buggy tour during pregnancy. The vibrations, sudden movements, and rough desert terrain present risks that we are not willing to take with your health. Pregnant guests are warmly welcome to accompany their group to our base camp, enjoy complimentary Moroccan mint tea, and watch the departure and return. Please contact us if you have any questions — we're happy to help find alternatives.
