Not to be missed. - After stopping in Merzouga for a mint tea we ventured into the desert through the dunes, on top of our Toyota 4x4, and took possession of our tent in the tented camp Ksar Bisha. Beautiful colorful and cozy. Mohammed Moujane our exceptional guide took us with a 4x4 through the dunes to see the sunset .. a couple of dream hours. The desert takes you .. and never leaves you. Upon return an excellent typical Berber dinner in the camp. In the morning camel over two hours x get to the big dune x see the sun rise. Not to be missed. After returning and a hearty breakfast , the great Mohammed, took us back to merzouga x resume our journey. Two unforgettable days.

Tour to Merzouga with Yassin - We took this 2 day tour which was organized for us by Yassin. It is a beautiful tour, organized in detail. We stayed at the Luxury Camp where everything was very well looked after, clean and welcoming. We recommend these tours together with Yassin. Paola and Maria Grazia.

A trip to a thousand and one nights - Watch the sunset sit atop one of the thousands of dunes in this desert, and at night listen to Berber music under an incredible blanket of stars. The camps are like an oasis, as they respect the environment, adapting to it and creating a very exotic Mood.

Beautifull sun set in sandy dunes - We took a desert tour with 4x4 organized from riad Ouzine. Mr. Mohamed took us to lake Dayet Srij, gnoua musicians, nomad familly living in berber tent and than at Kasba Caravan we took two camels. Our two guides were excellent, one of them took photos of us and video. This was a pleasant ride, special feeling, beautiful sun set, really great.

Something you will never forget. - I've just left it and, for sure, I'll never forget it. You'll never find a closer experience to the desert and berber culture than this. The sunset riding the camels, the awesome tribal music till late, the tasty dinner (even a vegan option), the unspeakable sunrise that brings tears to eyes were great, sure, but the words with Hassan, the camel man, the experiences with the musicians and how great their people are, this is what will bring back with me forever.

Erg Chebbi - they gate way to the Sahara Desert - We did a private tour and Erg Chebbi dunes were amazing on the edge of Sahara Desert. Our guide was able to find us a luxury camp with aircon otherwise in the heat of July it would have been unbearable at night. There were about 4 luxury tents set apart from each other as well as the other more affordable tents and they were very private. My daughter refused to do the camels rides, so we settled for quad biking on the dunes for a good one hour and stopped to see the sun-set. It was particularly windy during our trip and overcast so we did not see many stars or milky ways but the Gnawa musicians made up for this!! Supper was basic with a salad starter, grilled chicken breast and fruit and for breakfast continental style with a good selection of cakes, bread, jam, omelette etc. In the morning we visited Erfoud also known by the name of ‘Gate of Sahara Desert’ and had a chance to search for fossils in the nearby hills where we met children from a nearby Berber Nomad settlement. We shared sweets and stickers with the children who loved it. We also visited the fossil museum and shop an isolated building and very deserted. We also stopped at Rissani a small oasis town. Here we stopped at ‘Ksar El Fida’ at the mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherfi founder of the Alaouite dynasty that still governs Morocco today. Rissani is quite historic as it situated on the old gold trade route of Sijilmassa a medieval city now in ruins along the River Ziz and Rissani. This western Trans-Saharan caravan trade route, which extended from the Niger River in Sudan to Tangier in northern Morocco and also connected the salt trade route to Mali and Timbuktu. If you are coming all the way out to Erg Chebbi which is interesting in itself don’t miss out on Erfoud and Rissani.

You won't feel lost in nothing but it has its charm - It is a small desert area with very beautiful red dunes in a perimeter area of the Moroccan Erg. Attractive but limited. Much exploited with a considerable amount of tented camps located to the east in the part not accessible by car on paved roads. In August the experience is better because, despite the considerable temperatures both during the day but often also at night, it is less frequented by mass tourism.
