Tinfou Dunes
Dunes de Tinfou
The closest golden dune field to Zagora, ideal for visitors short on time who want a half-day camel ride and sunset in the desert.
The Tinfou Dunes lie about 8 km southeast of Tamegroute. They form a small, isolated field of orange-gold dunes. They are not very high, but they are close to the road, so you can experience camel riding, dune climbing and sunsets within half a day. Several camps in the area offer overnight stays. If you have more time, Erg Chigaga is the better choice. Tinfou works best as a stop on the way to M'Hamid. You can reach it by hired car or on camelback.
