Getting there

Car

From Tafilalt, head southeast on the N13 highway towards Errachidia. Continue for approximately 50 km until you reach the small town of Rissani. At the Rissani roundabout, take the second exit onto the R702 road. Follow this road for about 32 km, then turn right onto a dirt road that leads directly to Gara Medouar. Drive carefully as the road can be uneven. After about 10 km, you will arrive at Gara Medouar. Parking is available near the entrance.

Public Transportation

Start by taking a shared taxi (known as 'grand taxi') from Tafilalt to Rissani. The fare is generally around 30 MAD per person, and the journey takes approximately 40 minutes. Once in Rissani, find a shared taxi heading towards Merzouga, which will drop you off at a point near the R702 road. From there, expect to walk or arrange a local transport to navigate the last 10 km to Gara Medouar. Be prepared for some negotiation on transport fees, which may vary based on demand.

Walking

If you prefer a more adventurous route, after arriving at Rissani from Tafilalt, you can walk towards Gara Medouar. The distance from Rissani to Gara Medouar is approximately 40 km. This route may take around 8-10 hours on foot, and you should carry sufficient water and snacks. It is recommended to start early in the morning to avoid the midday heat. Make sure to have a map or a GPS-enabled device to navigate the dirt roads leading to the site.
