Merzouga is a small village on the edge of the vast Erg Chebbi, one of Morocco's most spectacular Saharan dune fields. The dunes rise up to 150 meters high, creating a golden sea of sand that stretches for over 50 kilometers. This is the quintessential Sahara experience, where the silence of the desert is broken only by the wind and the occasional call of a bird.

The nearby village offers a glimpse into the traditional Berber way of life, with its mud-brick houses and friendly locals.
