Merzouga

Gateway to the Sahara’s Golden Dunes

If you’ve ever dreamed of riding a camel across towering sand dunes or watching the sun rise over an endless sea of golden desert, Merzouga is the place where those dreams come to life. Nestled on the edge of the vast Erg Chebbi dunes, Merzouga is Morocco’s iconic desert outpost — a place of silence, serenity, and surreal beauty.

Here, the Sahara stretches in all directions, with wind-sculpted dunes that rise as high as 150 meters. Whether you’re trekking by camelback at sunset, gliding down sand dunes on a board, or camping under a sky bursting with stars, Merzouga offers a soul-stirring desert experience unlike any other.

The local Berber hospitality is just as unforgettable — warm, welcoming, and steeped in tradition. Share mint tea around a desert campfire, listen to drumming beneath the stars, or explore the nomadic culture that thrives in this stark yet stunning environment.

Merzouga isn’t just a destination — it’s a journey into Morocco’s wild heart, where the pace slows, the horizon widens, and the magic of the desert leaves a lasting impression.
