Book hostels in Merzouga
Gateway to the Sahara. Desert camps, camel treks, endless stars.
Merzouga sits at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes — the Morocco you came here for. Most travellers arrive on a 2- or 3-day desert tour from Marrakech or Fes, stay a night at a desert camp, and swear they'll come back. Hostels in the village are simple, warm, and usually bookable together with the full desert experience.
Highlights
- Camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes
