Camel trekking in Merzouga is an amazing experience. The desert landscape is unlike anything else in the world and camel trekking is the best way to explore it.
The camels are very gentle and easy to ride, and the guides are very knowledgeable about the area and its history. Camel trekking is a great way to see the desert and its wildlife up close.
I highly recommend camel trekking in Merzouga to anyone looking for an adventure. It is an experience you will never forget.
Our journey in the desert of Merzouga starts at 4 PM or 5 PM, our camel trek will set out for the sand dunes with our camels equipped with all the things we will need such as food, blankets and some other stuff we might need. We are going to spend the night in a camp among the enchanting dunes listening to music and Sahara drums. Frankly, this is an unmissable opportunity, as you will enjoy taking pictures of both the sunset and the sunrise, not only that, but you will also gaze at the glossy stars of the Sahara Desert and the magical view of the milky way above. In addition to all that, you will huddle close to the campfire and have your Saharan dinner, then we will call it a night and head to our nomad tents to sleep peacefully.
On the next day of our Camel trekking in Merzouga, you can wake up in the early morning to watch the sunrise. When you come back, our camels will be there waiting for you to give you a ride back to Merzouga. However, before that, you will have a nice breakfast, and take a cozy shower at the camp.
Later, you will ride the camels crossing the dunes again, back to the place where we started from yesterday. And that is how your one night in Merzouga ends.
