The small Saharan oasis of Merzouga, much damaged by floods in 2006, is famous for its location at the foot of the Erg Chebbi Dunes. These photogenic dunes, which rise up out of the stony, sandy desert, extend for 30 km (19 miles), and reach a maximum height of 250 m (820 ft).

Dayet Srji, a small lake west of the village, sometimes fills with water during the winter, after sudden rainfall. It attracts hundreds of pink flamingoes, storks and other
