Where is Merzouga?
Merzouga lies near the Erg Chebbi dune field in southeastern Morocco. Most visitors arrive after driving through the Atlas or oasis landscapes, or via routes from Errachidia, Fes or Ouarzazate.
Comfort and luxury categories
Different camps offer different levels of privacy, bedding, electricity and bathroom facilities. Higher-end camps may provide private bathrooms and additional conveniences, subject to the camp selected.

Practical advice for your Morocco trip
It is important to distinguish this Sahara dune region from Agafay, the rocky desert landscape closer to Marrakech.

Bring a warm layer for the evening and consider suitable shoes for walking on sand.
Sunrise, sunset and the desert environment
The colour of the dunes changes throughout the day, with especially beautiful light at sunset and sunrise. Conditions can be windy and dusty, and desert nights can be cold even after warm daytime temperatures.
