South-west Morocco.
Merzouga is a little village just on the border of Sahara desert. It is an ideal location to stay before leaving for a tour in the Erg Chebbi.
Starting from Merzouga you are 52 days far from Tombouctou, in the middle of western Sahara!
Several hotels and resorts, restaurants and small shops and some tour operators to plan your excursion, Merzouga offers everything you may need to visit the countryside.
Moreover, the town is an "out of time" place with its silent roads and lonely "palmeraie", passing over it means forgetting civilization and ride in the unknown.

The Erg Chebbi is a perfect Sahara location with its orange sands and dune landscapes. Try at least a one day trip with overnight in a tent camp to taste the vibes of the desert.
Riding a camel, in the silence only broken by the wind, with all those beautiful orange dunes around you, is an experience you should try once in your lifetime.

Sahara, of course, is all to come in front of you and the trip to Tombouctou is a different story and challenge, but a little bit of desert is better than nothing.
Anyway, sunset and sunrise will be unforgettable.

Let me thank all those wonderful Berbers people we met there. They gave us a great sample of their legendary hospitality, we won't forget.
As I'm sure I won't forget the crazy camel I had to ride and all the efforts it made to "buck me off"!
