Depart from Merzouga, Rissani, or the oasis town of Erfoud, and travel in comfort by 4WD vehicle to a traditional Kasbah situated at the foot of the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a refreshing glass of mint tea, offering a moment of relaxation before the adventure begins. From here, your guide will lead you into the heart of the desert for a memorable camel ride across the sweeping sands.
As you journey deeper into the desert, you’ll be captivated by the changing colors of the landscape, especially as the sun begins to set. The golden dunes stretch endlessly, creating an unforgettable scene. After approximately two hours on camelback, you will arrive at the desert camp, where your camels will be carefully tethered. Here, you’ll be offered more mint tea and have time to unwind. As evening falls, enjoy a delicious traditional dinner in the serene desert wilderness, followed by a unique cultural experience around the campfire. Feel the rhythm of the drums as Berber nomads share their songs, providing a truly authentic and immersive desert experience.
Wake early the following morning to walk across the soft sand dunes and witness the awe-inspiring sunrise from a vantage point near the Algerian border, about 50 kilometers from Merzouga. This peaceful moment offers a perfect opportunity to capture the beauty of the desert at dawn. Afterward, ride your camel back to the hotel, where you can refresh with a warm shower and enjoy a well-deserved breakfast.
