The sand bath in riad maison adrar merzouga

The sand bath in Merzouga in the Sahara desert is an ancient Berber treatment for curing ailments affecting the joints, muscles and tendons. It is best performed during the hottest months of July and August.

Prior to taking a sand bath as a form of treatment, it’s advisable to seek the advice of a medical doctor. Those suffering with blood pressure or other heart related ailments are advised against taking a sand bath due to the intense heat. For the preparation of the bath, a hole is dug in the sand the size of the person taking the bath and about 20 cm deep.

The hole is left open for half an hour to allow the desert heat to penetrate into the sand.

Once sufficiently hot, the person lies in the hole and is “buried” in sand, obviously leaving the head free. The person spends typically from 10-30 minutes in the bath, during which water is available for quenching thirst!

Morocco has always been described as a country with perfect and tasty food. It is our tradition to prepare food you will love.

The main Moroccan dish most people are familiar with is couscous, the old national delicacy. Beef is the most commonly eaten red meat in Morocco,usually eaten in a Tagine with vegetables or legumes. Chicken is also very commonly used in Tagines, knowing that one of the most famous Tagine is the Tagine of Chicken,potatoes and olives. Lamb is also consumed, but as North African sheep breeds store most of their fat in their tails, Moroccan lamb does not have the pungent flavour that Western lamb and mutton have. Poultry is also very common, and the use of seafood is increasing in Moroccan food. Among the most famous Moroccan dishes are Couscous, Pastilla, Tajine, Tanjia and Harira. Although the latter is a soup, it is considered as a dish in itself and is served as such or with dates especially during the month of Ramadan. Pork consumption is forbidden in accordance with Sharia, religious laws of Islam.

Sunset and Sunrise in the desert Merzouga :

The Sunset tour begins around 5:30 pm. It takes almost half a hour to reach the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi on top a camel. Then, we will leave the camels in about 80 meters to reach the highest dune of Merzouga.

For those who want to see a panoramic view they must climb to the top, it will takes them another 10 minutes. If you prefer not to hike up the highest dunes, the area around the camel "parking" is perfect to watch the sunset. After having enjoying that short time we travel back to the village.

This tour includes a stop at the garden where you will have a short explanation about the canal system.

The Sunrise Tour starts early and takes 35 minutes to reach the highest dune of Merzouga. This tour included a visit to the garden on the way back. For this tour you don't need to set the alarm clock. Enjoy your night and we will come around for a wake-up call.
