It is a very nice ride on a camel in the desert but takes a guide to optimize your time in Rissani. To do easily with children. Do not hesitate to sink between the first dunes taking the path opposite the mosque out of a town of Merzouga, even by car, rolling hard, no risks.
1. Go to the Door to the Dessert – Center of Rissani
The door to the desert is close to the souk or markets. The souk, smaller which allows you to identify enough, includes most of the artisans and flavors of Morocco. It is not for tourists, but for locals, and therefore remained authentic. A very nice step. No doubt will you be curious, as often, but insist bit if you politely decline.

2. Experience culture at Erg Chebbi
In good weather it is fabulous, set up and stunning sun, access to the dunes by camel, foot or vehicle. This is not a sandbox (you can walk several hours or even lost), nor the Saharan vastness. But it’s a good introduction to the magic of the desert. The colors of sand are there. The isolation, it depends on a bit. There is a camp used by multiple corner hostels.
