Things to Do in Merzouga

All of our Merzouga activities are run by local guides who know the Erg Chebbi dunes better than anyone, and everything can be timed for the golden light of sunrise or sunset. Mix and match to build your own perfect desert day — Best Sahara Tours will help you fit it all together, with instant WhatsApp booking and no prepayment.

If adrenaline is what you are after, the best things to do in Merzouga are the quad tours and dune buggies — fast, open-air rides around the base of the great dunes that are suitable for beginners and need no licence. Prefer to take it slower? A guided camel trek or a walking trek lets you feel the scale and silence of the Sahara, while a 4x4 excursion carries you deeper into the desert to meet nomad families and the Gnawa musicians of Khamlia village.

And of course the ultimate thing to do in Merzouga is to stay the night. A night — or two — in a Berber desert camp among the Erg Chebbi dunes is the memory most travellers treasure above all: dinner under the stars, drumming around the fire, and a sunrise that turns the whole desert gold. Whatever combination you choose, Best Sahara Tours will help you plan the perfect list of things to do in Merzouga.
