Merzouga is the best-known base around Erg Chebbi. Accommodation can mean a village guest house, a property at the dune edge or a camp reached by a separate transfer. These are different experiences, so establish the exact location and facilities before reserving.
What to see
Erg Chebbi dunes and the surrounding village landscape.
What to do
Arrange a guided dune outing, a camp night or a slower stay at the dune edge.
Practical information
Confirm current access, opening arrangements and local conditions before travelling. Use local guides for unfamiliar paths; respect private homes, cultivated land and requests about photography. Accommodation and dining links may refer to your Ouarzazate base or an onward stop; check the address on each listing.
Getting here
Approaches from Ouarzazate commonly use the Dades–Tinghir corridor or a southern route through Nkob and Rissani. Errachidia connects the area to the Ziz corridor farther north.
