Merzouga Tours – Sahara Desert Tours from Merzouga
Merzouga tours to the Erg Chebbi dunes — Morocco's most iconic Sahara experience. From Merzouga you can ride a camel into the dunes, spend a night in a desert camp, watch sunrise over the sand, and explore the oases and nomad villages around the dunes.
Merzouga and Erg Chebbi
Merzouga is a small village at the edge of the Erg Chebbi, a vast field of golden dunes near the Algerian border. The dunes reach 150 metres and offer the classic Sahara experience of camel treks and desert camps.
Desert camps & camel treks
The highlight of any Merzouga tour is the camel trek into the dunes at sunset, followed by a night in a desert camp with a traditional Berber dinner and music, and sunrise over the sand the next morning.
How to reach Merzouga
Merzouga is reached by private car from Fes (about 7–8 hours through the Middle Atlas) or from Marrakech (about 9 hours through the High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley).
