Itinerary

Camel trekking in Merzouga is the best way to discover the Erg Chebbi dunes. The camel has been a mainstay of desert life for thousands of years, so it is an essential part of your desert experience. When you arrive in Merzouga, we invite you to spend an unforgettable night with us under the stars.

The camel ride to the camp

In the late afternoon, you meet your camel guide at the edge of the dunes. Then you ride slowly through the soft sand for about one hour to our desert camp. On the way, we stop on a high dune to watch the sunset, when the sand turns orange, then red and finally purple.

Dinner and music around the campfire

At the camp, you enjoy a delicious traditional dinner, such as a tajine or a Berber couscous. Afterwards, you sit together around the campfire and listen to Berber drum music. Meanwhile, the stars slowly turn the sky into a work of art. Here, you can feel the silence of a world of contemplation, simplicity and generosity.

A night in a comfortable desert camp

You spend the night in your private tent with an en-suite bathroom, so you have all the comfort you need in the middle of the dunes. The tents have real beds, warm blankets and electricity.

Sunrise and the way back from your camel trekking in Merzouga

Early in the morning, you climb a dune to watch the sunrise over the Sahara. Then you ride your camel back to the village and have breakfast. Finally, you can continue your trip or join one of our desert tours from Merzouga.
