The day and night camel trek in the Merzouga Sahara Desert begins around 10:00 AM. Your camel guide will lead you into the golden, wavy sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Travel across this timeless landscape on the back of a camel, a method of transport across the Sahara that has been used for thousands of years. Feel the tranquility of this area as you trek over the dunes toward the desert camp.

The camel ride typically takes about a couple of hours. Upon arrival, you can relax and sip a cup of tea while our staff prepares a delicious lunch in the camp. This Merzouga camel excursion offers a chance to experience the simple, early lifestyle of nomadic people.

After enjoying a hearty lunch, you may want to climb the large sand dunes to try sandboarding, a popular activity in the Merzouga desert and Erg Chebbi dunes. This is also a great opportunity to witness one of the most spectacular sunsets and capture beautiful photographs.

The views are truly breathtaking as the sun’s rays play with the sand dunes, changing their color to orange as the intensity of the rays decreases before night falls. This marks the end of an exciting day full of adventure and fun.

As night approaches, you’ll have a date with a starry sky. Before that, a delicious dinner will be served in the camp. Then, enjoy a music party with Berber drums around the campfire, creating an atmosphere of entertainment and frolic. You’ll spend an unforgettable night in a private tent of your preferred type at the desert camp.

Our journey concludes with one of the most beautiful sunrises you’ll ever see.
