Camel trekking in Merzouga itinerary:
Our Merzouga overnight camel trek will begin in the late afternoon, about two hours before sunset, and take you right into the heart of the desert dunes after we meet you at our guests in the town Riad Merzouga Dunes where you will leave your car at parking and pack the necessary items for the evening in the desert.
Try sandboarding if this is an activity you are interested in. During the trek, you will stop in the middle of the Sahara to take pictures and enjoy the landscapes until the sun goes down. Then, you will continue to the camp where you will be welcomed with a glass of mint tea. The trek lasts about an hour and a half so you will have the opportunity to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets Morocco has to offer.
Being Berbers ourselves, we can provide you with the most real desert experience imaginable, complete with authentic cuisine, live music, and roomy tents for everyone.
The following day, we suggest waking up before it gets light to see a magnificent sunrise across the sand dunes. After these lovely moments, you will enjoy a delicious breakfast and take a shower at the camp. After that, you will ride the camels once more back to where you started, or if you don’t want to ride any more, we can transfer you directly to the village from the camp.

Overnight desert Camp
Hassan was fantastic from start to finish, having organized the trip last minute over Whatsapp on the day of the trip. Everything was well planned. They were waiting for us at the Merzouga rendezvous location. We were the only three of us in the desert, together with our guide and camels. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The sandboard, the camel, the desert, the tent, and the cuisine were all favorites among the kids. It’s perfect.

Hassan is a G, plain and simple. Why? I don’t believe I’ve ever had greater service anyplace else. Super nice and helpful, making us feel like one huge family, including the other tour participants. The Camal ride was a fun adventure, the camp cabins were beautiful, the food and beverages were delicious, and the fire with music was a blast. The dawn was spectacular, and the rest of the morning was spent sandboarding and driving back through the dunes.
I had no clue what I was going to do with the remainder of my time in Morocco after leaving the desert, but Hassan went out of his way to make it happen for me, and as a result, I saw a lot before departing.
I’ll definitely return eventually, and I’ll see you soon, Hassan.

Highlights overview:
Naturally, the Sahara comes to mind when you think about Morocco. This enormous desert may be found in Morocco’s south. The city of Merzouga is one of the desert’s entrances. Merzouga isn’t that interesting, and you won’t want to spend much time here. However, it is from here that you may access the Erg Chebbi desert (part of the Sahara).
You may engage in a variety of enjoyable activities at Erg Chebbi. For example, staying overnight in the desert while camping in a Berber desert camp is doable. Alternatively, take a camel ride or go 4x4ing across the sand dunes. We give you all you need to know about the Erg Chebbi Desert in Merzouga in this travel blog!
