Merzouga

Toegangspoort tot Erg Chebbi — de meest indrukwekkende duinen van Marokko.

Merzouga is het kroonjuweel van Marokko’s woestijnbeleving. Het dorp ligt aan de voet van Erg Chebbi, een zee van goudkleurige zandduinen die tot wel 150 meter hoog oprijzen. Kameeltochten, sterrenkijken vanuit luxe tentenkampen en de stilte van de Sahara creëren herinneringen voor het leven.
