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.
