As you travel through the dunes, you can enjoy spectacular views, take photographs, and learn about the traditions and lifestyle of the local desert communities.

Over the course of three days and two nights, you will explore different parts of the Erg Chebbi desert while spending nights in traditional desert camps or peaceful bivouac locations surrounded by sand dunes.

Day 1: Camel Trekking Into the Erg Chebbi Dunes

Meet your local guide in Merzouga and begin your camel trekking adventure. After a short introduction and preparation, climb onto your camel and start crossing the spectacular Erg Chebbi dunes. The scenery changes constantly as you travel through the golden sand, with high dunes, wide desert landscapes, and peaceful valleys creating unforgettable views.

Along the way, your guide can introduce you to the natural environment, local traditions, and history of the Merzouga region. Stop to enjoy the desert atmosphere and take photographs before continuing deeper into the dunes.

As the afternoon progresses, find a beautiful viewpoint to watch the Sahara sunset. The changing colors of the sand create a spectacular scene as the sun disappears behind the dunes. After sunset, continue toward your desert camp or overnight bivouac.

Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner and spend the evening around the campfire listening to Berber/Amazigh music and desert stories. Later, relax beneath a sky filled with stars and experience the peaceful atmosphere of the Sahara.

Day 2: Exploring the Sahara by Camel

Wake up early if you would like to experience a beautiful sunrise over Erg Chebbi. After breakfast, continue your camel trekking journey through the desert.

Day two gives you more time to appreciate the landscapes away from the main tourist areas. Travel across the dunes, discover quiet desert paths, and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by endless golden sand. Your local guide can share stories about life in the Sahara and the traditions of communities living around Merzouga.

Depending on the route and conditions, you may have opportunities to meet local people, visit traditional desert areas, or enjoy a peaceful lunch break in the dunes. The day is designed to combine adventure, cultural discovery, and time to simply enjoy the beauty of the Sahara.

In the evening, arrive at your second overnight location. Enjoy another traditional Moroccan dinner, relax around the fire, and spend another unforgettable night under the stars.

Day 3: Final Camel Trek & Return to Merzouga

After breakfast, begin the final part of your camel trekking adventure. Ride through the Erg Chebbi dunes while enjoying your last views of the spectacular Sahara landscape.

Take time for photographs and enjoy the peaceful morning atmosphere before gradually making your way back toward Merzouga. When you reach the end of the trek, say goodbye to your camels and local guide with unforgettable memories of your time in the desert.
