Your adventure begins in the late afternoon in Merzouga, situated right at the edge of the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes. You will mount your camel and embark on a peaceful, one-and-a-half-hour ride through the pristine desert. As the late afternoon light softens, your caravan will pause at a high vantage point to watch a spectacular, fiery sunset over the sands.
Upon arriving at your secluded desert camp, you will be warmly welcomed with traditional mint tea. Take time to relax and settle into your tent before a delicious, authentic Moroccan dinner is served. End your first evening in the Sahara gathered around a crackling campfire, listening to the rhythmic beats of local drum music under a canopy of stars.
Wake up early to catch the breathtaking desert sunrise, followed by a hearty breakfast served at the camp. Today, you trade your camel for a rugged 4×4 vehicle to venture deep into the black rocky desert (the Hamada). Your first stop is an authentic encounter with a local Berber family living in traditional woven tents. Share a cup of tea and gain insight into their ancient, nomadic way of life.
Your safari continues to a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint near the Algerian border. From there, you will explore the arid terrain in search of ancient ammonite fossils and visit an old, abandoned mining village. Next, you will head to Khamlia village to enjoy a traditional Berber lunch—featuring the famous “Berber Pizza” (Medfouna). After lunch, let the spiritual sounds of live Gnawa music wash over you.
In the late afternoon, return to your desert camp. You can choose to relax, take a peaceful walk, or grab a board and try sandboarding down the dunes before enjoying your second dinner and another night of music by the fire.
On your final morning, rise early to witness one last, spectacular Sahara sunrise. Enjoy a fresh breakfast at the camp before mounting your camel for the return trek to Merzouga village, bringing your unforgettable two-night desert expedition to a close.
