Desert CampsFrom simple Berber tents to private camps beneath the stars. Merzouga is more than Erg Chebbi itself. Khamlia village keeps a Gnawa music tradition alive just south of town, the market town of Rissani is a short drive away, and many desert-camp itineraries include a seasonal stop at the flamingo lake or tea with a nomadic family. See our full guide to things to do in Merzouga for the complete list.

Merzouga Explorer started with Sahara desert tours, and the Sahara is still what we know best. It began with a frustration every desert traveler knows: booking a hotel here, a guide there, and hoping the driver actually shows up. From there, the idea kept extending outward \xe2\x80\x94 into stays, activities, car rental and transfers \xe2\x80\x94 handled by people who know these roads and these dunes.
We don't claim to be the biggest name in Moroccan travel. We're trying to be a straightforward one: fewer bookings, less guesswork, more time actually experiencing the country.
