If you are traveling by car, start your journey from the center of Merzouga. Head southeast on Route N13, following the signs towards Erg Chebbi.

Public Transportation
For those relying on public transport, take a bus or shared taxi from Merzouga to Rissani. The fare is typically around 15-20 MAD. Once in Rissani, you will need to hire a local taxi, as public transport does not go directly to Erg Znaigui.
