One programme. Every useful detail.
Follow a five-day southern route through Zagora, Merzouga and the valley landscapes around Tinghir.
Request this supplier programme through MoroccoBridge. The starting price is indicative; our team confirms the final quote, departure, inclusions and cancellation terms before you commit.
Discover more than the route.
Merzouga sits beside Erg Chebbi in the broader Tafilalet landscape. Nearby Rissani connects the region with the origins of the Alaouite dynasty and older caravan routes. Explore that wider context with a guide rather than seeing the south only as a dune backdrop.
Erg Chebbi
Choose a guided dune outing with clear timing, route and physical demands.
Sunrise or sunset
Arrange a short experience around the light, with a confirmed return route.
Regional discoveries
Discuss a separate Rissani or oasis visit to add market and landscape context.
