Local knowledge for Merzouga

Where to stay

Budget guesthouses cluster along the Route de l'Erg on Merzouga's western edge, a 10-minute walk from the Erg Chebbi dune base. Hassilabied, 4km north, is quieter and usually a few euros cheaper per night for the same dune access.

Getting around

CTM buses from Marrakech and Fez drop you in Rissani, 22km away, not in Merzouga. Split a grand taxi from Rissani's bus station and the transfer costs under 50 dirhams per person.
Book any camel trek or overnight desert camp directly through your guesthouse. The touts near the dune entrance charge noticeably more for the same itinerary.
Withdraw cash before you arrive. Rissani has a BMCE bank branch, but the single ATM in Merzouga village runs dry regularly, and card readers are rare at budget guesthouses.

When to go

March-April and October-November fill beds fast when temperatures are manageable. June through August is the cheapest window by far, though daytime heat routinely hits 45°C.
