The best time to visit Merzouga is from October to May. On The Go Tours says daytime temperatures in Erg Chebbi range from about 15°C to 29°C in those months.
Summer is very hot. AAA warns that from June to September, midday temperatures often reach about 46°C. If you come in summer, plan your quad ride at sunset.
Winter nights are cold, even when the days are warm. Bring a warm layer if you sleep at the camp.
