Merzouga Morocco

Merzouga is a village in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, located on the edge of Erg Chebbi, a 50 km long and 5 km wide expanse of sand dunes that reach up to 350 meters. Most visitors come here to embark on a camel safari into the dunes and to experience a taste of remote (tourism-influenced) Berber life. 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 folk dances, and listen to black G'naui music. Visits to nearby villages inhabited by Senegalese musicians and dancers, such as Khamlia, can be arranged with some guides—just ask at your hotel.
