Merzuga is best known for its golden dunes along the majestic Ergchebubi, and it is a shame that most visitors do not remain in their quest for the area, full of hidden treasures.
Camel trekking and night under a nomadic tent in the desert
First, we immerse ourselves in the postcard decorations as we cross the ERG Chebbi on the back of the camel. Spend the night at nomadic companies under the stars or at Berber Bivoic in the middle of the dune sea. That’s why it’s number one on the list of the top 10 activities to do at Merzga.
Take a treatment for allentherapy (sand beach)
Are you suffering from muscle pain or rheumatism? Bulge yourself in the hot sands of the Merzga Desert, famous for its therapeutic properties. Claustrophobic refrain!
Discover Gnaoua’s culture and music
Located 7km from Merzga, Camria village, nicknamed “Black town“It reflects the indelible traces of sub-Saharan trade. Today’s group.”Sands pigeon” He plays and sings Gnaoua Music, a trans tune from Saharan music.
Walk through the beautiful oasis of Merzga
Merzga’s fertile oasis looks like a mi-pieru in the desert. Drink good mint tea at the company of Oasisian people who were able to maintain their ancestral culture.
Excursion to Tafilalet Palmeraie (Tafilalet palm groves)
This is not only the world’s largest palm grove with the sublime plantation of date palm, but also the acacia forest where Ziz and Gheris met. A moment of tranquility that you can’t miss!
Check out the seasonal lakes at Dayet Srji
In spring only, several seasonal lakes reappear on these arid lands northwest of Merzga. In particular, the Dayet Srji site is my favourite spot for observing flamingos.
Walking through Lisani’s souk
We stock local Rissani Souk products and artisan souvenirs. This is a market that will get even more vibrant on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. After that, we recommend purchasing the Tafilalet date and Blue Men fabric.
Check out Lisani’s Ksours and Mausoleums
Who said there are no monuments to visit in the Merzga area? Lisani is a cradle of the Arauit dynasty. Don’t miss Moulei Ismail Ksar and Moulei Ali Cherif Spirits US.
Go to Fossic and look for fossils
The ERG Chebbi region is rich in Jurassic fossils, rock carvings and minerals. Plus, visit the Gallina Mine and search for trilobite fossils!
Road trips in Todra and Dapa gorges
