Experience the soul of the Sahara with our overnight camel trek in Merzouga. This is more than a tour; it's a journey into the heart of the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes, where you'll witness breathtaking sunsets, dine under a canopy of stars, and create memories to last a lifetime.
An overnight camel trek in Merzouga is the quintessential Moroccan desert experience. Your adventure begins in the late afternoon as you mount your camel and venture into the sea of golden Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun begins its descent, casting a warm glow over the landscape, you'll feel a profound sense of peace and wonder. Upon arrival at our desert camp, you'll be welcomed with traditional mint tea. After a delicious Moroccan dinner, gather around the campfire for an evening of Berber music under a spectacular starry sky before retiring to your cozy private tent.
Your journey starts at our hotel in Merzouga, where you can park your car safely and use our facilities. About two hours before sunset, you'll be introduced to your camel guide. After learning how to wear a traditional Berber scarf, you'll begin your camel ride into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes. The trek offers incredible photo opportunities as the sand changes color with the shifting light.
We'll pause at a high dune for you to witness the spectacular desert sunset and try sandboarding. Afterwards, we continue to the desert camp. Our staff will welcome you with mint tea and show you to your private tent. Relax and soak in the serene atmosphere before a delicious, freshly prepared Moroccan dinner. The evening comes alive with the rhythmic beat of Berber drums around a crackling campfire, under a sky filled with stars.
Wake up early to experience a truly magical sunrise over the Sahara dunes. After this unforgettable moment, a hearty breakfast will be served at the camp. Following breakfast, you'll ride your camel back to Merzouga, concluding your desert adventure with memories to cherish forever. (A return trip by 4x4 is also available upon request).
