About Merzouga for Solo Travelers
The Sahara starts here — towering orange dunes, camel treks, and starlit desert camps that solo travelers share with other wanderers under one of the world's darkest skies.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Merzouga is the gateway to the Sahara's Erg Chebbi dunes — solo travelers should book a camel trek and desert camp through their riad, which naturally groups you with other travelers. The sunrise over the dunes from the top of the highest erg is a profound solo experience worth the 4am wake-up. The village itself is tiny; everything is arranged through accommodation.
