Discovering the Hidden Side of Merzouga

This Jeep tour in Merzouga has been the best experience of our trip. In the private 4x4 car we saw the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi, listening to Gnawa music in the village of Khamlia, having tea with the nomad family and visiting the old mine area. If you go to Merzouga then definitely recommend taking this tour.

Khamlia Music, Nomad Tea & Stunning Desert Views

Merzouga Desert Tour by Jeep was truly unforgettable.. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to the village of Khamlia,,, where we listened to Gnawa music, had tea with the Nomad family, and toured around the Erg Chebbi Dunes. The scenery of the desert is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words. There was no rush in the private 4x4 car, everything was enjoyed slowly. I went with my family and we all had a great time. If you're in Merzouga, make sure to take this tour - highly recommended!

Spectacular experience with great guide/driver

We really had a great time here. Driving through the desert is really something else. We drove up a hill from where you had a great view, through sand dunes and visited a graphite mining site. We also quickly visited two villages, this obviously is a bit touristy, but it was very nice, we had very good tea and at no point in time did we have the feeling to have to purchase something like with other companies or tours. It was just visiting, drinking tea, having a good time and nice experience. And the driver was great all the time, very nice and showing us all sorts of interesting things during the trip. I definitely recommend this to everyone and would absolutely do that again.

It was truly fantastic!!!

The tour was fantastic. The guide and driver were very kind and helpful. They showed us, explained us everything we wanted. It was really amazing from the first communication until the end of the adventure. They have other services and I really recommend them if you want to go and have a real desert adventure. My son wanted to stay even for more hours 😀

highly recommend this tour with Hassan as a guide.

We had the most wonderful experience spending time in the desert with our guide Hassan. He first took us on a fun drive in the dunes in his nice Toyota Land Cruiser and stopped in various areas to take scenic pictures. Hassan drove us to a nearby lagoon that was created by the recent heavy rain in the area. We changed into our bathing suit and swam into the clear turquoise water for about 45 minutes. That was completely unexpected and definitively a highlight of our vacation in Morocco. We learned a ton about the Berber people of the area. Overall, we spent close to 4 hours with our guide who was very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour with Hassan as a guide.
