Merzouga Desert Camp – A Luxury Nomadic Experience for Travellers

The Moroccan Sahara desert is one of the most preferred tourist destinations for desert hikers and visitors. When someone goes to Morocco for spending the year-end holiday season or a much needed family vacation, staying in a Merzouga desert camp may be top on his or her list. The desert camps in Merzouga are often a luxury base for tourists' Sahara desert stay and escapade with magnificent  and eternal Merzouga sand dunes, oases (dry river beds), ergs (soft desert) and regs (rocky desert) in some distance where nomadic Berbers live with their special tribal culture and animals. Most of them are at 1.5 hours distance from Erfoud city which is regarded as "the gate of Sahara Desert".

The larger looking sand dunes or "Ergs" are the ultimate attraction for Morocco visitors. There are 2 famous Saharan Ergs in Morocco called  Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga which bring tourists the feeling of vastness in a desert. Both these destinations are worth explorable with choices to climb rolling dunes, ride a camel, enjoy nomadic food, watch scenic landscapes and camp under the stars at night. 

Moroccan myth affirms that the sand dunes at Erg Chebbi were the result of God's punishment for villagers who turn aside a tired traveler from the Moroccan Sahara desert. The natives believe that these dunes gathered outside Merzouga to punish and teach them not to turn down any exhausted traveller in their lives again. These Erg Chebbi dunes near  Merzouga undoubtedly give a glimpse of one of the finest attractions in Morocco. These gigantic mountains of soft and golden coloured sand lining the Algerian border are a must for every Moroccan Sahara visitor.

The desert world of Morocco not just includes the rolling landscape of the Erg Chebbi but also friendly and luxury nomadic Berber hospitality. It is more likely to create a magical experience with clear sky, sparkling vistas, glittering stars, calm surrounding, great silence, large dunes and much more.  For centuries, visitors have admired its immeasurable traits and wanted to experience this magic on their own. The  Merzouga Desert Camps have given an opportunity to such travellers to experience an invigorating magic while getting a special nomadic retreat in the luxury setting of a desert camp.
