[2025 Merzouga Attraction] Travel Guide for Merzouga (Updated Apr)

The Merzouga Desert is located in the heart of the Sahara in southeastern Morocco. The golden sand dunes are undulating, with the highest point reaching 150 meters, forming a unique wavy landform. At dawn and dusk, the sand dunes change from orange-red to rose gold as the light changes, becoming a natural canvas for photographers to chase light and shadow. We recommend riding a camel or taking a four-wheel drive to explore the heart of the desert and experience the nomadic tradition. After nightfall, the desert camp provides a special Tajine dinner. The starry sky observation is particularly stunning - the Milky Way is clearly visible in an environment without light pollution. It is recommended to bring a tripod to shoot star trails. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is significant, so it is recommended to bring high-factor sunscreen, breathable long-sleeved clothing and a warm jacket. The village of Merzouga serves as a supply station, and there are family hotels where you can store your luggage or take a simple rest. It is recommended to take the early morning bus from Marrakech, and to charter a bus to visit the Atlas Mountains in sections for Fez. You can stop in Midelt to acclimate to the climate on the way. During the peak season, camping accommodation must be booked two weeks in advance. It is recommended to shorten the hiking time during the hot summer period.
