Merzouga

Merzouga, a small town in southern Morocco, serves as the gateway to Erg Chebbi, a vast expanse of towering dunes located about 5 miles (8 kilometers) away on the outer edges of the Sahara. The town’s sand-colored inns blend seamlessly with the desert landscape, giving the impression that they have grown naturally from the earth. Visitors often use Merzouga as a base for embarking on adventures and camping trips into the dunes, immersing themselves in the stark beauty and tranquility of the desert.
