Merzouga is a small village on the edge of Erg Chebbi, a sea of dunes around 22 km long whose highest crests rise up to about 150 metres. The colours change through the day, from pale gold at noon to deep orange and pink at sunset.
Most visitors arrive in the late afternoon, ride camels into the dunes and spend the night in a desert camp. Around Merzouga you can also visit the Gnawa musicians of Khamlia, the seasonal lake of Dayet Srij and the old mining area of Mifis by 4×4.
