What makes the "Camel Trek Adventure & Overnight Stay in Merzouga Desert Camp" unique is the immersive experience of journeying into the heart of the Sahara Desert on camelback. The camel trek itself allows you to connect with the ancient traditions of desert nomads, while the isolation of the desert provides a rare opportunity to truly disconnect from the modern world. Spending the night in a traditional Berber camp under the starry sky adds a magical touch, as you're surrounded by the quiet vastness of the dunes. The sunrise and sunset views, combined with authentic desert music, local cuisine, and the chance to witness the ever-changing landscape of the desert, make this adventure a one-of-a-kind and deeply memorable experience.

Lovely night in the desert

5.00Our experience in the desert was amazing. The guides were really friendly and attentive. They were always happy to help or take some pictures for us. We were able to do a lot of sand boarding while waiting for the sunset and enjoyed a great dinner at camp with the rest of the group. The night ended with dancing to drums, as well as learning how to play ourselves. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was really okay for being in the desert. Big thank you again to the guides :)
Perfect day in the dunes
