THE STORY BEHIND THIS PROGRAMME

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.
