We stop for lunch to taste authentic Moroccan dishes such as couscous Tagine… After lunch, we continue our journey to Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. Here, you can marvel at the golden sand dunes, take beautiful photos, and even enjoy a short walk in the sand or a camel ride if you wish.
