Desert Experiences in Merzouga
Camel rides, 4x4 excursions and private moments in the Sahara, arranged around your stay at our camp.
Things to do in Merzouga
Merzouga sits at the edge of Erg Chebbi, the highest and most famous dunes in Morocco. Beyond the camp, the region offers wide desert landscapes, small villages and a culture shaped by life on the edge of the Sahara.
For many travellers, a night in the dunes is the highlight of a trip to Morocco: the most complete Sahara desert experience you can have in a short time. Every stay with us already includes a camel ride, dinner and breakfast. If you would like to see more, we can add other experiences and plan them around your arrival time, the length of your stay and what interests you most. Just tell us when you book.
Camel rides in Merzouga
The classic Sahara experience. Ride with our camel guides through the dunes at sunset or sunrise, when the light is softest and the sand glows. A camel ride is included with every overnight stay, and longer rides can be arranged.
