Overnight Camel Trekking — Erg Chebbi, Merzouga

Home › Things to Do › Overnight Camel Trekking

Written by Hassan, host at Hotel Les Roches Merzouga — hosting Sahara travellers since 2004.

The overnight camel trek is the purest way to experience the Sahara — and at €80 per person, our most popular short activity. In the late afternoon you'll mount your camel at the edge of the dunes and ride about an hour into the heart of Erg Chebbi as the sand glows gold, arriving at our luxury camp in time for sunset.

After a traditional dinner and Berber drumming around the fire, you sleep in a private en-suite tent and wake for a memorable Sahara sunrise before riding (or walking) back. It's bookable on its own or as part of any desert tour.
