Merzouga is a small village in southeastern Morocco, about 35 km (22 mi) southeast of Rissani, about 55 km (34 mi) from Erfoud and about 50 km (31 mi) from the Algerian border.
The village is known for its proximity to Erg Chebbi and is a popular destination for tourists.[1] It has been described as "a desert theme park" and the Erg Chebbi as "a wonderland of sand".[2] Merzouga has the largest natural underground body of water in Morocco.[citation needed]
In 2006, Merzouga experienced devastating flash floods, displacing 1,200 and resulting in some deaths.
