Tinfou Dunes
A dune landscape near Tamegroute on the wider Zagora route. Visit as a regional extension, with time for the return or a confirmed overnight stay; it is not a short excursion from the city.
The place & its story

What to look for
Enjoy the sand landscape on a manageable walk agreed with your driver or local guide. Ask before photographing residents. Camel rides, vehicles and overnight activities require separate arrangements and are not included in this guide.
