    Los guías estuvieron fantásticos. La única pega es que nos perdimos el amanecer por mala organización.

    Friendly staff, a delightful experience riding a dromedary through the desert, watching the sunset and sunrise. The food was delicious and plentiful. Keep in mind that it gets chilly inside the tent.

Merzouga Tours & Desert Activities | Book Your Sahara Adventure

Merzouga is a gateway to the endless sands and breathtaking dunes of the Moroccan Sahara. This small desert village is famed for its spectacular landscapes, where the golden Erg Chebbi dunes rise majestically under the vast African sky. Here, visitors can experience a world far removed from busy city life, enjoying quiet starlit nights and colorful desert sunsets that have captivated travelers for generations.

A Glimpse into the Past

Merzouga's story has been shaped by its position on ancient caravan routes that once connected North Africa with the rest of the continent. Over the centuries, nomads and traders passed through this remote outpost, making it a cultural crossroads where Berber traditions still thrive alongside new visitors from around the globe.

When to Go

The best time to visit this desert destination is from October to April, when temperatures are milder and the days are pleasant for exploring. Summers can be extremely hot, often reaching over 40°C (104°F), making outdoor activities less comfortable during peak daylight hours.

What activities are popular here?

Top experiences include camel treks at sunrise or sunset, overnight stays in traditional desert camps, sandboarding, 4x4 excursions, and visiting local Berber villages to learn about traditional culture and crafts.
