If you decide to travel to Merzouga , it is to discover its breathtaking dunes. Some of them are the highest in the Sahara . Their ascent can be done on foot since their height does not exceed 160 m. The dunes reserve a magnificent reward for you once you reach the top: a breathtaking view of Erg Chebbi , the village of Merzouga and Lake Dayet Srji!
To avoid the intense heat, choose to climb in the late moj data afternoon. This way, the sun is also less intense and the light conditions allow you to admire the beauty of the dunes that are tinged with an orange-yellow. To enjoy a breathtaking spectacle, this magical place can also be visited at sunrise or sunset.
For an authentic and unusual stay, consider bivouacking in the heart of the desert. Such an excursion ensures you a unique travel experience since it allows you to live like the nomadic peoples of the Sahara .
Explore the place on the back of a dromedary and then spend the night in a khaïma . This is an authentic Berber tent made of dromedary wool and supported by a wooden structure. This accommodation will make you happy if you are a fan of comfort and simplicity . As a bed, a thick layer of carpet is provided. For the meal, the Berbers will serve you Moroccan tajine, as they usually do with other visitors.
