Merzouga
For an unforgettable experience, travel to the quiet quaint Berber town of Merzouga Morocco offering you the change to discover a different lifestyle and the awe-inspiring dunes of the Sahara Desert.
Located on the edge of the desert, Merzouga is the ideal base from where to venture on day excursions and to return to at night for a rest and meals at the splendid auberges in town. The friendly hospitable Berber people have managed to maintain much of their culture and it is a wonderful occasion to listen to their fascinating history and culture whilst you have a traditional Moroccan feast. Merzouga’s beauty does not lay in major attractions such as Medinas and grand mosques, but rather in the way it blends harmoniously with the unspoiled natural environment. Wander through the lush palm trees, listen to the children’s laughter, and watch the calm way in which the woman gathers water from the wells.
Visit the local artisan union displaying their Berber crafts, particularly the gorgeous quality carpets sold at quite a reasonable price. Take exhilarating camel or 4x4 treks into the dunes, spend a night in one of the oasis auberges or get into touch with nature and sleep under the stars in a Berber tent. The sight of the dunes is absolutely dazzling and the shifting colours seem to dance in the sunlight. After an astounding day in the desert dunes, relax next to a camp fire or on the terraces of the auberges and enjoy the live music entertainment while sharing experiences and sipping on a soothing cup of mint tea. Merzouga will capture your heart with its amazing essence, stunning scenery, and beautiful people.
