Our overnight camel trekking in Merzouga is the simplest way to live a real night in the Sahara Desert. In the late afternoon you ride a camel across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, watch the sunset from the top of the dunes and arrive at our desert camp for mint tea, a traditional Berber dinner and music around the campfire.
You sleep in a comfortable tent far from the city lights and wake up early for the sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast the camels take you back to Merzouga village, where the experience started.
The camel trek, dinner, music and breakfast are the same – you only choose the comfort of your tent.
