Overnight Camel Trekking in Merzouga offers an unforgettable blend of adventure and tradition.
This unique experience allows you to ride a camel through the desert, witness the sunset and sunrise over the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi (Merzouga), and spend a remarkable night in either a standard or luxury tent.
Merzouga camel trekking, spending a night in the desert, and watching the sunset amidst the dunes is truly an unforgettable experience.
This overnight camel trek in Merzouga begins in the late afternoon (around 4-5 PM, depending on the season) from the Kasbah Hotel to the Merzouga Desert Camp, situated in the heart of the dunes. The journey takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, including a stop to relax, climb the dunes for breathtaking sunset views, take photos, and enjoy sandboarding.
Upon arrival at the camp, you will be welcomed in traditional desert style with mint tea inside a Berber Bedouin tent, where you will spend the night.
In the evening, savor a delicious Moroccan dinner, followed by a campfire and a drumming circle, creating a lively and entertaining atmosphere. As the night deepens, fall asleep under the twinkling stars inside a private tent of your chosen type. You will leave your main luggage in your car or at our guesthouse, bringing only a backpack for the overnight adventure.
