The best time to visit Merzouga

Spring, summer, autumn or winter? What the weather is like in the Sahara in each season, and when to come.

Merzouga can be visited all year round, but each season offers a very different desert. Here is what to expect so you can choose the right moment for your trip.

Spring (March to May): one of the best times

Warm, pleasant days and cool nights — ideal for camel trekking, 4×4 tours and sandboarding. Spring can bring windy days, so a scarf to protect you from the sand is always useful.

Autumn (September to November): our favorite

After the summer heat, temperatures become comfortable again. The light is soft, the sunsets are spectacular, and the nights are perfect for stargazing.

Winter (December to February): sunny days, cold nights

Days are usually sunny and mild, but nights in the desert can be very cold. It is a wonderful season for clear skies full of stars — just bring warm clothes for the evening. Our tents have temperature control, so you stay comfortable at night.

Summer (June to August): very hot

Daytime temperatures are very high. If you visit in summer, plan activities for early morning and late afternoon, rest during the hottest hours, and enjoy the air-conditioned comfort of your tent.

In short

  • Best overall: spring and autumn
  • Best for stars: winter, with long, clear nights
  • If you come in summer: early mornings, late afternoons and air conditioning

Whatever the season, every tent at Milagro Luxury Camp has temperature control (A/C) to keep you comfortable all year round.
