Overnight in Merzouga desert & Camel trekking
Overnight in Merzouga desert & Camel trekking
Without an overnight camel ride in the Merzouga Desert, a trip to Morocco would be incomplete. The Sahara Desert near Merzouga is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Morocco and the world. The location gets its name from the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi and the breathtaking beauty of its sunsets and sunrises.
Take a camel ride through the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in the Sahara Desert, spend the night in a Berber tent, and enjoy some live traditional Berber drum music. This is one of the most well-liked activities in Morocco. Going on an overnight camel ride is the best thing to do in the Merzouga desert.
During this camel tour of Merzouga, you can take a camel ride over the golden sand dunes, watch the sunset over the desert, practice sandboarding, and then spend the night in a desert tent. After a satiating dinner, you can relax while listening to traditional Barbary music or local nomads performing Berber music outdoors under the sky.
The following morning’s sunrise over Erg Chebbi’s magnificent dunes will be breathtaking, spreading a rainbow of colors and shadows across the arid environment. We’ll then head back to Merzouga itself after that.
