Itinerary

  • Erg Chebbi Dunes

    Start your visit to the area around Merzouga and the land of the Ait Khebbach tribe with pick-up from your accommodation in a spacious and comfortable 4x4 vehicle. Cross desert plateaus far away from concrete roads and visit a Berber family in their tent for lunch. Learn how they live in their tents with goats, sheep and working donkeys, as well as how to prepare a Berber pizza on the fire. Enjoy this delicious communal meal in their home.

    3 hours

  • Khamlia

    Start your desert exploration with a visit to the village of Khamlia. Here, you'll enjoy the inhabitants' music and dance, and have the opportunity to try their instruments and learn to play some desert music of your own!

    30 minutes

  • The Lake of Merzouga

    Afterwards, take a 4x4 down a gravel road to the Lake of Merzouga (also named Lake Tamezguida), which appears seasonally from November to May during the rainy season in Middle Atlas. This is the best spot to see desert birds, and sometimes even flamingos! Return to your accommodation in Merzouga in the late afternoon.

Amazing way to discover the desert

Published on Jan, 2023

We had a fantastic day with our tourguide Said. He showed us amazing places, told us a lot of interesting things and made us laugh a lot. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Lovely experience

Published on Dec, 2022

This trip was a lovely experience to get familiar with Sachara desert beautiful ecosystem, local people and culture. We've visited different parts of the desert, gorgeous sand dunes, places with fossils and excavation of minerals, the Beduins nomad camp where we ate delicious local food and drank tea. We've also seen how the gardens are grown in the desert, which is quite amazing. African music and food at the local restaurant were also great. Our guide Said was very welcoming and knowledgible. It was a wonderful day.

Perfect tour through Sahara region in Morroco.
