Morocco Private Tours | Marrakech Private Tours | Merzouga Camel Trekking

 

Merzouga, a small town in Morocco, Desert Sahara is situated near the Algerian border. It is also known as a gateway to Erg Chebbi. Erg Chebbi is a huge expanse of sand dunes on the Morocco-Algeria border and north of Merzouga. This is a magnificent sea of sand dunes that stretches for almost 30 kilometers east of Merzouga. What makes this particular stretch more beautiful is, the dunes are always moulded by the wind. At times, they can rise as high as 150 meters. If you are on a Tour in Morocco and travelling to Merzouga then do not worry, you will have a plethora of activities to do during your trip. 

This town is near the shore of a seasonal lake named as Lac Dayet Srij. This brackish lake is four kilometers west of the town. It dries out during the summer season but gets filled up every year by the autumn rains. When replenished, this lake resembles a giant blue sheet against the desert dunes. What makes this lake more incredible is its profuse birdlife. Here you can find more than 30 different species from pipits to shelducks, sandpipers, plovers, wagtails and storks. The main attraction on the lake's shores are the greater flamingos which can be easily seen around March and April.

There is nothing more exciting than exploring the beautiful dunes of the never-ending Sahara Desert. It is the best thing to do during your Morocco Excursion. If you want to taste the nomadic lifestyle then riding a camel is the best thing. Watching the sunset while riding a camel or an ATV and cruising through the sand dunes up and down is an experience of a lifetime. When all you hear is the sound of wind, soaking in the magnificent view of vast golden sand dunes surely sounds like something to make your tour unforgettable.

If you are travelling to the country for the first time, you might not be familiar with the places. It is best that you take help from a tour operator for your travel itinerary.

Then one you pick depends on your budget and the time you have on your hand. Different tours have different amenities, just pick the one that suits you the best.
