Car
If you're traveling by car, head towards Merzouga from your current location in the Sahara Desert. The bivouac is situated just outside the town of Merzouga, which is easily accessible via the main road. Once you arrive in Merzouga, look for signs pointing towards the Erg Chebbi dunes. Follow these signs until you reach the base of the dunes, where you can find parking. From here, you will need to arrange a camel trek to the bivouac, which can be booked through local tour operators or your accommodation.

Public Transportation
If you are relying on public transportation, take a shared taxi or bus to Merzouga from nearby cities such as Rissani or Errachidia. Shared taxis are more common and can be found at taxi stands. Once you arrive in Merzouga, you can either walk to the camel trek departure point or ask a local for directions. Most accommodations in Merzouga can help arrange your camel trek to the bivouac, so don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.

Camel Trek
After reaching Merzouga, you need to book a camel trek to the bivouac. This usually involves a short introduction and preparation from your guide, followed by a scenic ride into the dunes. The trek typically lasts about 1-2 hours, depending on the specific location of your bivouac. Make sure to confirm the total cost upfront, which may vary based on the duration and included services, such as meals or overnight stays.
