Starting an amazing 4×4 desert trip throughout the breathtaking scenery of the Sahara, an outstanding Moroccan Packages driver will pick you up straight from your hotel in Merzouga. Starting at the edge of the golden Erg Chebbi dunes, the road provides panoramic vistas and the opportunity to value their grandeur and expanse from an unusual vantage point. Often the energetic Khamlia hamlet is your first destination; here you will be greeted by residents with soulful Gnawa music, carried on by descendants of sub-Saharan African communities, and learn about their rich musical and cultural legacy.
From there, the journey continues off-road into the harsh, otherworldly splendor of the Hamada, a black volcanic rock desert, where you will discover historic fossil sites and experience the unadulterated solitude of this unspoiled area. You will see nomadic Berber families along the road, drinking mint tea in their handmade tents and seeing into their everyday lives, customs, and close relationship to the desert. You stop about noon for a classic Moroccan meal, usually presented at a little local house or a picturesque oasis, thereby experiencing real hospitality.
Depending on the season, you could visit Dayet Srij, a saltwater lake that draws migrating birds including flamingos a startling explosion of life in the midst of the desert in the afternoon. The trip ends with a drive to a high panoramic point from where you may see the sun create lengthy shadows across the dunes. Your driver will securely bring you back to your Merzouga hotel as the day ends, therefore preserving vivid memories of the Saharan scenery, people, and hidden beauties.
