Merzouga sunset and cameltreck trips

Camel treks in the Merzouga desert are a popular activity for tourists visiting Morocco. Merzouga is situated in southeastern Morocco, and it is famous for its magnificent sand dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Camel treks in Merzouga start from the village of Merzouga, where tourists can hire a camel and a guide. The treks usually last for 1-2 days, and the camel guides lead tourists through the desert to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes.

Tourists are provided with tents in which they can camp for the night. The guides usually prepare dinner, and tourists can enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine. In the evening, tourists gather around a campfire and listen to the traditional music of the Berber people.

The next morning, tourists watch the sunrise over the sand dunes, which is a breathtaking experience. After breakfast, they ride back to Merzouga, where they can take a shower and have some leisure time.

Merzouga sunset and camel trek trips begin around 5:30 pm. It takes almost half an hour to reach the biggest sand dune of Erg Chebbi riding on a camel. We will trek on foot for about 260 meters to reach the top of the highest dune of Merzouga for those who want to see a panoramic view. If you prefer to not climb the highest dune then nearby small dunes are also perfect to watch the sunset. After having enjoyed the short time of sunset we travel back to the village.
