Excursión en 4×4 por el desierto de Merzouga

Explore the Erg Chebbi dunes in a 4×4

The Erg Chebbi dunes, near Merzouga, are the jewel in the crown of the Moroccan Sahara. These imposing dunes reach 150 meters in height, creating a spectacular golden landscape that changes dramatically with the light of sunrise and sunset. Our 4×4 excursions take you directly to the heart of Erg Chebbi, where you can:

Cultural immersion on your 4×4 desert adventure

The Merzouga Desert is not just sand dunes, but also a vibrant cultural crossroads. A 4×4 excursion opens the door to the fascinating life of the nomadic Berbers, the indigenous people of the Sahara region.

Visit remote Berber villages: meet the locals and learn about their traditions, crafts, and unique desert lifestyle.

Traditional music and cuisine: Some tours include stops at desert camps where you can enjoy live Berber music and authentic Moroccan dishes, such as tagine and couscous.

Camel caravans: Witness or join a camel caravan that still crosses the desert for commercial or tourist purposes.

Desert Flora and Fauna: Observe desert wildlife such as foxes, lizards, and unique plants adapted to extreme conditions.

These encounters will enrich your trip and connect you deeply with the soul of the Sahara.
