What to expect
Your driver will meet you at Mouhou Appartement, and from there, your unforgettable journey through the Merzouga region begins.
This full-day 4x4 adventure is dedicated to discovering the many wonders of Merzouga — from majestic sand dunes and seasonal wild lakes to fossil-rich areas, ancient mines, and lush desert oases. The region is rich in natural beauty and perfect for cultural exploration and outdoor experiences.
We begin by heading off-road to visit a historic kohl (eyeliner) mine, once an important resource in the area. Next, we visit a nomadic family living in traditional handwoven tents. You’ll get a glimpse into their simple, authentic lifestyle and share a moment over a cup of traditional Berber tea.
Our journey continues to Khamlia village, home to the Gnaoua people, whose ancestors came from sub-Saharan countries like Mali, Sudan, and Niger. Here, you'll enjoy a live Gnawa music performance — full of rhythm, spiritual energy, and dancing.
Afterward, you'll have free time for lunch at a local restaurant (meal not included). We then take a relaxing walk through a palm grove then we return to the original meeting point
