Merzouga is a small town located in the Sahara Desert in the south of Morocco. It’s known as the gateway to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes at the edge of town, consisting of soaring peaks of sand that change color with the shifting light of dawn and dusk. The most authentic way to experience the desert is on camelback, including an overnight stay at a desert camp. Many companies offer such trips, but they vary greatly in cost, comfort, and experience. In this video, we will show you our 3-day safari experience so you know what to expect from a camel trek. We will also give an honest review and different desert activity options at the end of the video.

Thanks for the info. We plan on going here in May. Your 10 things to do in Marrakesh will be helpful as well. We appreciate all you do. We have used the information from other videos to plan trips to other destinations as well. We went to Turkey shortly after you released those videos, and we are using your information as we plan our trip to Portugal in a few months. Now we just need you to go to Spain 🙂 We really appreciate the maps in the videos, as they help orientate where attractions are in relationship to each other. BTW, I also had fun reminiscing while watching the Angles Landing video in Utah - a hike I've done six times.

@worldwildhearts Год назад

Thank you so much for the nice comment! I hope you have a good time! Spain is very high on our list... we've both been there a bunch of times, but before we started creating RU-vid videos! The south of Spain is lovely and you should definitely include Granada, Sevilla, Ronda, and Cordoba in your itinerary. Those cities are just beautiful!

Hey there! Thanks for the awesome videos the tour looks awesome! I was curious if you had any tips on how to fit in stops such Ait Ben Haddou and ouarzate on the way to Mergouza if you didn’t have a rental Car. 😊

@worldwildhearts Год назад

I think there’s a bus from Marrakech to Ouarzazate! In the city you could make find others to drive with / or get a driver to take you to Ait Ben Haddou!

Hi, fantastic video and lots of really helpful info and insights! Do you know the name of the luxury campa you stayed in please? Did you stay another night in Merzouga after your 4 x 4 adventure, or was there time to drive on from there after that? Thanks, K

@worldwildhearts 2 месяца назад

We didn't spend any night in Merzouga itself. Arrived on the day of the tour and left after the 4x4 tour (it was finished around noon). Don't remember the camp name as it was arranged for us by the company

Looking to drive from Marrakech by renting a car, how easy the drive there? Where did you park your car while away for 3 days in the desert ? Can you refer me to your guide for the desert stay? Thank you

@worldwildhearts 2 месяца назад

It's not too difficult driving to Merzouga, though it's going to be a long drive. We left our car with the company we booked our desert tour with. The link is in the description below the video.

@hidayahsahudi 8 месяцев назад

It is great trip. Very different with others. I want to follow your dessert trip but not sure if it is safe for me or not as I am woman and will be travelling solo.

@worldwildhearts 8 месяцев назад

We met a few other solo female travelers in Morocco. One woman was also doing a camel Safari but for 2 days. I can imagine it can be a little bit lonely if you’re just by yourself and the guides. But maybe you’ll find some other travelers to link up with in the town of Merzouga?

@travelandeating74 6 месяцев назад

@worldwildhearts I was also wondering if it was safe to stay in the desert with kids. My youngest is eleven, so I'm not sure if we should go there! Your videos are among the most informative!

@elisag1950 2 месяца назад

Heyy, what was the price of your 2 days trip from fes? When I click on your link, there is no price shown 🙈

It's $195.92 per person when we check. But for a 3 day trip

There is a lot of beer available in the town of Merzouga itself if you wanted to bring that with you on your trip out there.

How much did it cost?

@worldwildhearts Год назад

The 2 nights in the desert with the camels were about 85€ per person (we stayed in the standard camp on the second night - there is also a luxurious option which is more expensive), we added on the 4x4 tour on the last day which was an additional 45€ per person

Hi, i'm going with My bf to Morroco in 2 weeks, why did You get SO many fines??? He wants to Rent a car

@worldwildhearts 8 месяцев назад

Mostly speeding tickets. Just keep an eye out for road signs as they change so quickly. We didn’t catch all of them and that’s why we got fined. Also, there are many police checkpoints and you really have to stop. Even if you drive 5 km / hour and not stop for them completely, they’ll fine you.

All of these areas are the areas of Western Sahara occupied by Morocco, and all of its inhabitants were displaced refugees in the Tindouf camps in Algeria after the Green March, which the world denounced at the time, and there are videos called Where is King Hassan II threatening the local population with death, Western Sahara was a Spanish colony and gave up It was transferred to Mauritania and Morocco by the illegal Madrid agreements. After Mauritania left Western Sahara, Morocco seized the remaining lands. Every tourist advertisement for disputed areas is considered a violation of international law.

@worldwildhearts Год назад

Hi Mo! Actually Merzouga lies all the way to the east of Morocco (way further east than Marrakech) and was never part of Western Sahara, which is located in the west.

@moguerlain7158 Год назад

@@worldwildhearts I did not lie about the fact that there is a country in Africa occupied by Morocco called Western Sahara and that there are thousands of Sahrawi refugees in the Tindouf camps who have been waiting for more than forty years for their referendum

@@worldwildhearts On 26 February 1976, Spain informed the Secretary-General that it had until that date terminated its presence in Western Sahara and relinquished its responsibilities for the territory, thus leaving it in effect to be administered by both Morocco and Mauritania in the areas under their control. .

There's no country called Western Sahara in the world at ALL...since centuries ago... there's only the Kingdom of Morocco

@Trance18 6 месяцев назад

Nice try besides the fact that this is in the territory of Merzouga which is by no doubt part of Morocco, the ridiculous claim of western Sahara is nothing but a Western colonial leftover the Grand Sahara is and was always part of the great Kingdomof Morocco, actually a large part of Modern day Algeria that didn't exist before 1960 and a big part of modern day Mauritania were part of Morocco, I don't understand the idiocy of denying Morocco's sovereignty over territories that historically and factually always belonged to us , it was part of Morocco before colonialism and was cut from our country during those years and once we got rid of the spanish with a historical march in 1975 we got it back , go learn history you ignorant idiot and the rebels in Tindouf besides that there are only few hundreds, they are terrorists founded by Algeria and are living there like cockroaches and always will , I dare you to go the South of Morocco and each and every city there and say the ridiculous things yiu've just said , you'll be first laughed at and sexond thrown out . Long Live the Kingdom of Morocco 🇲🇦
