Experience the Sahara the way it was meant to be seen — slowly, deeply, and far from the crowds. This 3-day, 2-night Merzouga camel trek takes you on a sunset ride deep into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes, where you’ll sleep in a traditional Berber desert camp under a sky blazing with stars.
Unlike rushed overnight tours, this journey gives you a full day to truly immerse yourself in local culture and the desert landscape. You will have the chance to meet local nomads and share mint tea to learn about their traditional desert way of life. You can also try sandboarding Erg Chebbi down the golden slopes, and later gather around the campfire for live Berber music campfire sessions. Wake each morning to the Sahara sunrise, feast on authentic Moroccan tagine, and ride camels back through the dunes at your own pace. This trip is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and small groups seeking an authentic, unhurried Sahara desert Morocco adventure.
In the afternoon, you will meet your guide in Merzouga to pack your bags and prepare the camels. You will begin your camel trekking Erg Chebbi by riding for approximately 1.5 hours into the dunes as the sun begins to set, stopping at the highest point for panoramic photos. Upon arriving at your Berber desert camp, you will enjoy a welcome glass of mint tea, freshen up, and relax. A traditional tagine dinner is served under the stars, followed by a Berber music campfire session with drums.
