Day Trip Merzouga To Safsaf Oasis

day trip from Merzouga to Saf Saf Oasis, where you’ll delve into the heart of the Sahara Desert’s hidden gem. Saf Saf Oasis, nestled amidst the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi, offers a unique and immersive experience in the tranquil beauty of the desert. Let’s delve into the highlights of this enchanting day trip.

Itinerary

The Saf Saf Oasis is one of the most unknown places in the Moroccan Desert, a beautiful setting very close to the border with Algeria where a small stream gives way to numerous palm trees.

We will pick you up at the agreed point and go towards Merzán where we will still find nomadic shepherds with their small herds of goats, simple adobe houses with their gardens and despite being on one of the most tourist routes in the desert, there are nearby the famous fossil and barite stone deposits, which remind us of the past as a sea of this great desert, now converted into an Ikrab (hamada).

This area used by the old Paris-Dakar and an unrivaled movie setting with its dirt and stone roads, outlined on the horizon by the Boutcharfine mountains, reserves for us after a long journey a surprise in the form of an oasis, that of Saf Saf with its sources of crystalline water standing and dwelling of the last nomads of the desert who in a Numantine way resist changing their way of life.

Once in the Saf Saf oasis, if we are lucky and there is water, we can take a bath, and under the palm trees we will eat our exquisite Berber pizza.

In the oasis you will find fossil stands, and a purse next to you so you can leave the money that the fossils cost, but no one will come to bother you so that you buy absolutely nothing.
