What is there to do in Merzouga besides camel rides?

4x4 excursions, quads and buggies, sandboarding, Khamlia’s Gnawa music, nomad visits, Lake Dayet Srji birdwatching, stargazing and simply climbing the great dune.

A single full day fits a surprising amount: excursion in the morning, siesta and pool-cooling at midday, sandboarding before the sunset ride, drums after dinner. Slow travellers simply repeat their favourites.
