Day and Night Camel Trek in Merzouga

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. As you traverse this landscape on the back of a camel—a method of transport that has been used across the Sahara for thousands of years—you’ll experience the serene beauty of this timeless area. The camel ride typically lasts a couple of hours. Upon arrival at the desert camp, you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea while our staff prepares a delicious lunch. This excursion provides a unique opportunity to witness how nomadic people thrive with the simplest of resources. After a hearty lunch, you’ll have the chance to climb the towering sand dunes for some thrilling sandboarding—one of the most popular activities in the Merzouga desert. As the day draws to a close, you’ll witness a breathtaking sunset, with the rays of the sun casting magical colors over the dunes, transitioning to a stunning orange hue. As night falls, you’ll gather around the campfire for a tasty dinner, followed by a lively music party featuring Berber drums. This enchanting atmosphere promises a night to remember in your private tent (at your preferred tent type), with a promise of one of the most beautiful sunrises to greet you in the morning.

Awaken in the heart of the Sahara Desert to a panoramic sunrise that is well worth the early rise. After enjoying a refreshing shower, a healthy breakfast will be waiting for you. Your camel guide will prepare the camels for the return trek to the village. Alternatively, if you prefer, a 4×4 transfer back from the camp is also available. Your Day and Night Camel Trek in Merzouga concludes at our guesthouse, leaving you with beautiful memories and photos from this unique and wonderful experience—and perhaps a new perspective on life.
