Frequently asked questions

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.

A Brilliant Trip

We have been on a couple of cycling trips before and this one was probably the best. Tri our guide was outstanding and all our fellow cyclists were a great bunch of people. We got a real flavour of life in Vietnam. Lots of interesting food.The meals were good and plentiful. Thought we would lose weight but didn't! Good Hotels. Many highlights but a couple or so to point out,Whale Island and Hoi An, the 30km exhilarating downhill ride and cycling in city centre traffic...... great fun but leaves your heart racing. It is quite full on which leaves you wanting to spend more time in some of the places visited. The usual pattern is arrive at 5 - 6 pm, leave at 7.15 next morning. However we did find time to swim in the hotel pools. Overnight train was great fun ....all part of the adventure. To cover the length of the country there are some longish times in the bus but the bus was comfortable but great chance to talk with your fellow travellers. This also gives you time to see more of the country and people watch. Staggered us how much could be piled on a scooter!The bikes were ideal for the road conditions as well as being clean and very well maintained. At the frequent refreshment/rest stops there was lots of juice, water, fruit, nuts and biscuits. The driver and bike mechanic were very friendly and very competent. Great organization, things happened when Tri said they would.

Good 'ole Exodus!

An interesting blend of Vietnam from north to south including an o/n sleeper train. The success and enjoyment of these trips is usually down to the blend of fellow travelers and team leader and this one was no different. The weather, early season, was mixed with a little more rain and cloud than hoped for but did not detract from the enjoyment but a little more sunshine would have enhanced the countryside. A read of the brochure and trip notes will give a very accurate picture of the breadth and variety of the trip. The daily riding distances are mainly governed by the fitness of the participants and their ability to cover the miles in a reasonable time and for the first time in my experience of 7 trips we were delayed by some participants who frankly were not cycling fit and I wonder if they had read and understood the pre - trip advice!
