Spend a memorable night in the Sahara on this 2-day camel trekking experience from Merzouga. Ride through the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in the late afternoon, pause to admire the changing desert light, and arrive at camp in time for sunset, mint tea, dinner, and a traditional Berber-style evening.

After a night in a comfortable desert camp, wake early for sunrise over the dunes before breakfast and your return to the village by camel, with the option of a transfer back instead. With sandboarding included and local desert guides leading the way, this is a classic Merzouga desert escape.

Today we recommend rising before it gets light to see a magnificent sunrise across the dunes.
