Tinfou offers a readily understood introduction to sand-dune scenery on the lower Drâa route. Its scale and setting differ from Erg Chegaga and Erg Chebbi. It is best treated as a stop within a Zagora and Tamegroute journey, rather than a substitute for a remote desert expedition.
What to see
The dunes and their contrast with the surrounding plain.
What to do
Walk where access is permitted or arrange an optional local camel outing.
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
Tinfou lies beyond Tamegroute on the route south from Zagora towards M’Hamid.
