Sahara guide & desert excursions in Merzouga
Small-group desert journeys led by Hassan & Mohamed, born near Merzouga, guiding travellers far beyond the standard tourist trail.
Welcome
Not a tour. An encounter.
Hassan was one of the first Touareg guides of Merzouga, and it shows. With his son Mohamed, he opens the doors of a Sahara that most visitors never see, nomad villages, traditional music shared in intimate settings, nights beneath a sky thick with stars, and corners of the desert that few guides even know exist.

“A rare encounter in the heart of the Sahara”
Hassan is one of the first Touareg guides of Merzouga, and it shows. A truly authentic immersion, far from the standard tourist circuits: nomad Berber villages, traditional music in an intimate setting, a night under tents in the dunes with an exceptional dinner, and a spectacular 4x4 tour of the Erg Chebbi. Hassan also took us to rare sites that few guides know, the Celestial Staircase, the City of Orion, and the underground Berber canals. Beyond his skills as a guide, Hassan is a deeply human, generous and passionate person. If you pass through Merzouga, look no further.
