Sit around the fire, sip Moroccan mint tea, and enjoy the company of fellow travelers and friendly locals. It’s not just entertainment—it’s a cultural connection that deepens your desert experience.
Stargazing in the Sahara
When the fire fades and the music softens, look up. The Merzouga night sky, free from light pollution, reveals a galaxy of stars. It’s a humbling and awe-inspiring sight that stays with you long after your journey ends. Stargazing in the Sahara is often described as a spiritual moment of clarity and peace.
