Great way to cover Merzouga
We came the Merzouga late in the evening and yet we’re able to book this trip the very next morning. Merzouga Dunes Tour were very fast to respond and very attentive to our needs. They answered dozens of questions before we committed to the trip.
The driver was super nice and knowledgeable. He took us to places we would have never otherwise know of. We loved it and highly recommend.

The Best Choice to Explore Nomadic Life and Merzouga Desert Erg Chebbi Dunes
We visited Merzouga on September with a friend & family. During our visit, we wanted to buy some nomad-made rugs and silver jewelry, and found what we needed in depot nomade on this tour is includedto visit traditional Berber Shop. The people working there were super friendly and accomodating. They showed us exactly what we wanted, and we were happy with the choices.
P.S.: Dont forget to ask OMAR for a cup of tea . One of the best around, especially since it's complimentary
THANK YOU (Rachid) MERZOUGA DUNES
