Merzouga, Morocco

Merzouga Morocco

Merzouga is a village in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, situated on the edge of Erg Chebbi, a stretch of sand dunes that spans 50km in length and 5km in width, reaching heights of up to 350m. Most people come here to embark on a camel safari into the dunes and to experience a taste of remote Berber life, albeit influenced by tourism. The local population is a mix of Arabs and Berbers, and they are generally welcoming and friendly. You can witness the sunrise and sunset over the dunes, enjoy traditional folk dances, and listen to the vibrant sounds of black G'naui music. Visits to nearby villages inhabited by Senegalese musicians and dancers, such as Khamlia, can be arranged with some guides, so be sure to ask at your hotel.
