Merzouga 4x4 Excursion - Morocco Desert & Erg Chebbi Dunes

At Marrakech Day Desert Tour we organize 4x4 excursion in Merzouga desert; Erg Chebbi dunes. We start your 4x4 Merzouga excursion in a 4WD and set out to see the different faces of desert dunes of Erg Chebbi with its black volcanic rocks, passing through small villages, where you will stop to drink mint tea with a Berber family in their tent, along the road used by the Paris Dakar rally. You will then reach a cave where you can discover how the local people extract the fossils from the heart of the earth in small deserted town called "Mefis".

Here, in this abandoned small town, the remains of buildings and mines belonging to the French colonizer in the period between 1912 to 1956, have been a witness to a history the region's near-absence in the culture of the majority of its inhabitants that still fights illiteracy and ignorance, in addition to the harsh natural conditions.

You will stop also to listen to some Saharan Music (Gnawa) in The Khamlia village. You will walk little bit in the oasis. Also you will visit the seasonal lake of Merzouga. A place for a group of migratory birds, such as pink flamingos, ducks, storks and other birds. This means that life is returned to this small desert lake. It is teeming with life after months or maybe a year of drought due to the lack of precipitation in these areas. Our Merzouga 4x4 excursion will be conclude by a visit to the small palm grove in the village of Hassi Labied.
