Merzouga is a city of Saharan Morocco.
To know
Merzouga is a tourist resort located in an oasis in the desert of Morocco, in the province of Er Rachidia.
It was once a stopping point along the tracks that crossed the desert, now it is the departure and arrival point for tourists visiting the sandy desert (erg) as the huge erg Chebbi dunes are within a short distance. The nearest town is Erfoud.
The finale of the film Marrakech Express by Gabriele Salvatores is set in the oasis of Merzouga.
