Merzouga does not have a vibrant traditional bar scene; instead, visitors can find a quiet evening drink primarily at licensed hotels and luxury desert camps.
Entertainment and Music:
The music and entertainment scene in Merzouga is intrinsically linked to the desert camp experience, offering traditional cultural immersion under the stars.
Evenings in the desert camps often feature captivating sessions of local music, particularly the rhythmic sounds of Berber drums played around a campfire, providing a communal and authentic cultural experience. Formal live music venues or music-oriented bars are not present in the village.
Type: Hotel Bar
Situated within Kasbah Merzouga, this bar offers a welcoming space to unwind. Guests can enjoy a cold drink by the pool or in the air-conditioned indoor area, providing a comfortable spot to relax after a day exploring the desert.
Getting There: Kasbah Merzouga is located near the village center and is generally within walking distance from many guesthouses. Taxis are also readily available for short rides.
Type: Luxury Desert Camp Lounge
Experience drinks under the vast desert sky at the terrace bar of Starlight Erg Luxury Camp. This newly opened camp provides a serene environment to enjoy a drink with stunning views of the dunes, often accompanied by the tranquil sounds of the desert.
Getting There: Desert camps are typically located a short distance into the dunes. Guests usually arrange transfers with their camp, often involving 4x4 vehicles or camel treks from a designated meeting point in Merzouga village. Costs for these transfers are typically included in the camp booking or arranged directly with the camp.
