Google merzouga and oasis, you'll find lots of links.
Otherwise, what sort of trips are you after? Merzouga is the start of Chris Scott's 'M6' piste.

Hi there.
We have just returned from a trip to maroc, and Merzouga was one of the places we visited. There is plenty of places to stay and base yourselves for journeys into and around the dunes. We made time for a complete day just driving around them in a 4x4, but decided to camp out when we reached the far side. A great two day trip. There are camel trips on offer too! If you approach them from the center of Erfoud town, the tarmac finishes approx 20 km before the dunes and gives you a good sense of arriving. Much better than taking the tarmac from Rissani. the following waypoints will take you to the hotel Merzouga, but personally, i chose to camp instead. N31.05.381 W004.00.307
Hope this is useful, best wishes for your trip,
Nick.
