At least a sunrise or sunset by camel is a must.
DesertStar Says: We were wakened at 5:00 and taken by two guides in blue robes to our camels. It's amazing how high off the ground you feel when they suddenly get up off their knees! We were taken to the edge of the dune -- probably about a half-hour camel ride -- and then led on foot up the...
The Typical Booked Desert Safari: Berber Tents in the Sand
DSwede Says: While it is quite possible to find treks into the desert if you arrive into Merzouga on your own, the problem therein is that the operators are very distant from each other, do not have established roads or addresses, and may very well be off with other guests in the dunes...

Hotel Merzouga: A taste of the desert
DesertStar Says: We liked the look of the Berber tents better than the rooms, so we decided to make that our desert "camping" experience. Rather than make a two-day trip by camel (our original plan), we did two-hour sunrise camel trip. This turned out to be one of our better ideas... We had...
DesertStar Says: This was a small thing but quite annoying. We were in Rissani looking for the turnoff to Merzouga. Both our map and our guide book were printed before the road between the two towns was paved, so we were a bit unsure of our bearings. We came to a major right turn, and the...
DSwede Says: There are a few places in Morocco that cater to tourists wishing to go into the deserts by camel and possibly camp in the Berber style tents.The sand dunes outside of Merzouga, near the Algerian border, may be about as far from the main cities as you can get, but the quality...

Just the right amount of time on a camel for me...
We had planned to to way out into the desert, camp overnight, then come way back again -- by camel. As it happened, when we got to the Hotel Merzouga we liked the tents better than the rooms, so we......

Merzouga is barely a town, it is more of an oasis on the edge of the hard bedrock before the dunes rise to the East. While there may be some of the necessities to be purchased there or the occasional...
