If you have come this far then you must visit the fringes of the Sahara and you can do this at Erfoud (Merzouga and the dunes at Erg Chebbi) and Zagora (M'Hamid and the dunes at Tinfou and Erg Lihoudi), both of which offer the opportunity to explore the desert by camel or 4WD, even quad bikes.

An incredible drive along the Draa valley will bring you to Zagora an outpost in the deep south suitable as a base for excursions into the Sahara. Famously on the edge of town is the signpost indicating Timbuktou to be a mere 52 days journey across the desert (by camel caravan of course).

25 kms of mostly dirt track from Erfoud, this is the location for many visitor's unforgettable Sahara experience. Yours may be an exhilarating walk up and down the dunes or simply the most stunning views at sunrise and sunset. |
The ideal spot to enjoy the desert life and experience Morocco's most important oasis, the Tafilalet as well as venturing over to see the Erg Chebbi (massive dunes) beyond Merzouga. The famous date festival is held here in October. |
