Itinerary

Morning: Camel Trekking & Dune Exploration

We begin our Sahara adventure with a camel trek across the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga. Feel the soft sand shift beneath your feet as we follow trails once used by ancient desert caravans. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Berber nomads, desert survival tips, and points out the unique plants and wildlife that call this timeless landscape home.

Afternoon: Golden Hour & Sunset Spectacle

We climb to the tallest dunes to witness the Sahara transform under the setting sun. Shadows stretch across rolling sands while colors shift from shimmering gold to deep crimson. Take photos, breathe in the vastness, and imagine the countless traders, travelers, and explorers who have crossed these same sands for centuries.

Evening: Berber Culture & Starlit Serenity

Our day ends at an authentic Berber desert camp, where warm hospitality awaits. Meet local hosts, sip traditional mint tea, and enjoy live Gnawa and Berber music by the campfire. Hear stories of desert life and nomadic traditions, then look up at a sky brimming with stars, far from city lights, creating a magical and unforgettable close to your Saharan experience.
