Tin Merzouga
Algeria, located in the northern part of Africa, has put behind its turbulent and violent past to focus on becoming a major tourism destination in the region. This Arabic country is rooted in a deep and historic cultural legacy, but it is its stunning natural spectacles and dizzying aesthetic appeal that is improving the popularity of this magnificent destination. Without a doubt the iconic Sahara Desert is a major reason why travellers head to Africa and Algeria is renowned for its many attractions and oases resorts that dot one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular gifts.
The sand dunes of Tin Merzouga are the stand-out feature amongst these top-rated spots and promises to dazzle visitors with its breathtaking kaleidoscope of scenery and vantage points. Tin Merzouga is located in the south-east of the country and is in close proximity to the border with Libya; it is one of the Sahara’s most vast and imposing landscapes but has a very serene quality that tends to overwhelm those that have the privilege of visiting it. There is indeed something to be said with the deep connection you find within yourself and the acres and acres of surrounding terrain, while marvelling at the majesty that lies before you.
Tin Merzouga has the highest sand dune peaks in the region and travellers will find themselves constantly unearthing and discovering more and more peaks after they think they have reached the highest of them. The journey towards Tin Merzouga is an incredible experience too as there are sites along the way that bear testimony to a civilization that existed in these parts many thousands of years even before the birth of Christ.
