Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Merzouga

8 km north of Merzouga, the village of Hassi Labiad, quieter than Merzouga, is home to a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert, where it's pleasant to stroll in the coolness of the water and palm trees. It's the epitome of a community oasis, with every household owning a cultivable plot. The land is irrigated by an ingenious system that communicates with all the plots. Each household has a set time for watering its plantations each week. Vegetables, fruit and herbs grow here in the middle of the desert!
