'head out from the morning market into the flat basalt desert, keep going until you see the electric wires in the distance. Don't get confused by the many tracks going everywhere. Once you see the electric wires, turn right and drive a parallel route. You will come across a lonely red house on the left. Past the house take a slightly more left bound course, and soon you can see the dunes. Drive past the town of Merzouga, about three to four hundred meters on you can have a fresh beer in a small pub in front of erg Chebbi.'
Despite the lack of confidence in the route description, I headed out. I reached the little pub, just to find out they ran out of beer. But it is an amazing place, and it was a great ride.
Nowadays there seems to be an asphalted road for most of the way, running from Erfoud over Rissani to Merzouga.
