Merzouga Desert Photography Experience

Merzouga is famous for its tall, sculpted dunes and easy access to the Erg Chebbi area, making it an ideal destination for desert photography. Photographers can capture clean, minimalist compositions, camel caravans moving across the sand, and human-scale dunes that change color and texture quickly with the light. Sunrise and sunset bring warm tones, long shadows, and strong contrasts, while nearby villages offer opportunities for authentic portrait photography of desert guides and nomadic communities. After dark, the clear skies around Merzouga are perfect for night photography and Milky Way shots, completing a rich and varied desert photography experience.

Erg Chegaga is Morocco’s most remote and untouched dune system, making it a dream destination for photographers searching for wild landscapes, silence, and creative freedom. Reached only by off-road tracks, Chegaga reveals vast dune fields, raw desert textures, and an overwhelming sense of space with almost no visual pollution or crowds. Here, photographers can work slowly and intentionally, capturing pure, minimalist scenes, dramatic wide-angle landscapes, abstract dune patterns, and powerful long exposures under incredibly dark night skies. This remote Sahara environment offers a true expedition-style photography experience, ideal for fine-art desert photography and deep visual storytelling.
