The dunes are only the beginning. Around Merzouga, the Sahara opens into plains of dark stone, oases, small villages and endless views.
A Merzouga desert tour by 4x4 lets you discover this wider landscape comfortably and safely, with a local driver who knows the tracks and the region. It is a good way to add variety to your stay and to understand more about life on the edge of the Sahara.
