Want to watch the sunset? My treat.

Explore Morocco, and the magnificent scenery of the Sahara Desert is undoubtedly a must-see for every traveler. Merzouga, a village in southeastern Morocco, is the dream gateway to the vast Sahara Desert. Merzouga is a hidden gem known for its spectacular dunes, tent camps under the stars, and camel rides. If you want to immerse yourself in the desert and feel the primitive and free spirit, this is the place for you. — Erg Chebbi, a 150-meter-high sand dune, is one of the most majestic sights in the Sahara Desert. At dawn, the golden sand sea glistens; at sunset, the sky is ablaze, and every moment is breathtaking. Even more surprising, this was the filming location for the movie "Lawrence of Arabia," where the traces of history and the wonders of nature intertwine, inspiring awe. Stroll through the town of Merzouga, where traditional Berber markets, craft shops, and unique restaurants make you feel like you're traveling back to the daily life of the locals. Here, don't hesitate to bargain and experience the authentic "Berber style." When night falls, desert stargazing camping will bring you an unprecedented shock. Millions of stars twinkle overhead, and traditional Berber music plays by the campfire. This is a visual and auditory feast, a baptism of the soul. Travel tips: - Sun protection and warmth: The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. You need to protect yourself from the sun during the day and keep warm at night. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and down jackets are all essential! - Clothing advice: For women, it is recommended to wear comfortable long pants and sneakers to avoid inconvenience when riding a camel. - Headscarf and veil: The desert is windy and sandy, so a headscarf or veil can protect you from the sun and dust, making your desert trip more comfortable.
