Camel Trek & Night in a Luxury Desert Camp
Ride a camel into Erg Chebbi at sunset, sleep in a luxury tent with private bathroom, dine by the fire under the stars and wake up for the sunrise.
This is the experience that makes people fall in love with the Sahara. In the late afternoon we meet at the edge of the dunes, wrap your head in a Berber scarf and set off on camelback with your cameleer. The caravan walks slowly into Erg Chebbi as the sand turns gold, and we stop on a dune to watch the sunset.
At nightfall we reach our luxury camp, hidden among the dunes. Each tent has a real bed, a private bathroom with hot shower and electricity. Dinner is a Moroccan feast with soup, tagine and fruit, followed by Berber drums around the fire and a sky full of stars. After the sunrise and breakfast, the camels take you back to Merzouga.
