One of the top attractions in Merzouga is the stunning Erg Chebbi sand dunes, which are among the largest in Morocco. Visitors can enjoy activities like camel treks into the desert, sandboarding down the dunes, and watching mesmerizing sunsets and sunrises over the Sahara. Another must-see is the nearby village of Khamlia, known for its Gnawa music and culture. Travelers can experience traditional Gnawa performances, learn about the music's history, and explore the village's unique atmosphere. Merzouga also offers opportunities for off-road desert adventures, including 4x4 desert tours that take you through rugged terrain, oases, and nomadic settlements, providing a deeper insight into desert life. Staying in a desert camp is a quintessential experience in Merzouga. These camps offer comfortable accommodations in traditional Berber-style tents, delicious Moroccan meals, and evening entertainment such as live music and stargazing under the clear desert sky.
The best time to visit Merzouga for a desert experience is during the cooler months, typically from October to April. During this period, daytime temperatures are more comfortable for outdoor activities, and the nights are cool but not excessively cold. Avoid visiting during the summer months (June to August) when temperatures can soar to extreme levels, making outdoor activities in the desert challenging and potentially dangerous. The shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October) offer pleasant weather with fewer tourists, providing a more tranquil desert experience. Keep in mind that certain cultural events, such as the Festival of the Sahara in November, can also add a unique dimension to your visit, showcasing traditional desert music, dance, and camel racing.
