Cultural attractions of Trans-Maghreb
| Douz | |
|---|---|
The oasis town of Douz is known as a gateway to the Sahara Desert and is the location of the Festival of the Sahara. The souks, camel market and the Sahara Museum in town are worth a visit but the main attraction here is to take a camel trek into the rolling sand dunes of the desert, watch the sunset and camp under the desert stars in a Bedouin tent. | |
| Merzouga Sand Sea | |
|---|---|
The Merzouga Sand Sea lies on the edge of the Sahara Desert in eastern Morocco, near the small Berber village of Merzouga. This vast area of sand dunes makes for a breathtaking landscape, particularly at sunrise or sunset. The best way to experience this region is to take a camel ride to a camp in the desert and sleep under the stars enjoying traditional Moroccan food and hospitality. | |
