Highlights of the 4×4 Desert Excursion

During your 4×4 desert tour in Merzouga, you’ll discover some of the most fascinating sites in the region. Each stop reveals a different face of the Sahara — from natural wonders to cultural treasures.

🏜️ Erg Chebbi Dunes

Start your adventure with a drive along the towering golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, where the sand formations constantly change color and shape with the wind. Perfect for photos and panoramic views.

🏡 Khamlia Village – The Village of the Gnawa

Visit the famous village of Khamlia, home to the Gnawa people originally from Sub-Saharan Africa. Enjoy a live performance of traditional Gnawa music, known for its rhythmic drumming and spiritual songs.

⛏️ M’fis Mines

Explore the abandoned lead mines of M’fis, once worked by the French during the colonial era. This site offers a glimpse into the region’s history and incredible views of the surrounding desert.

🏕️ Nomad Families in the Black Desert

Meet local Berber nomads who live in the desert’s harsh yet beautiful environment. Enjoy a cup of tea with them and learn about their traditional way of life, passed down through generations.

Discover the peaceful Tissardmine Oasis, a hidden gem surrounded by palm trees and small farms. The contrast between the green oasis and the golden dunes is truly breathtaking.

🦴 Fossil Valley

Drive through a region rich in ancient marine fossils, proof that this desert was once covered by the ocean millions of years ago. You can even spot fossilized shells and ammonites embedded in the rocks.
