Overnight Camel Trekking in Merzouga

The adventure of the camel ride in Merzouga Desert (Hassi Labied) starts in the afternoon, the camel men or the camel leaders set the saddles on the camels, an hour and a half before the sunset, the camels would be parked and ready for their passengers. At that time the riders as well should be ready to experience the magical ride of the ship of the desert. The camel’s leaders will take off towards the most beautiful sand dunes in all Morocco, claiming the small and the big dunes. Before they arrive at the Berber’s tents or bivouacs, a stop will be made on the way to see one of the charming sunsets all over the world, after they arrive, the clients will be served tea, or what the Berbers call by their whiskey.

Dinner will be served before the Berbers start playing on Drums around the fire as it is cold in winter. When the party is over, it is recommended to clamp up the dunes to see a magical view of the stars, depending on if it is not cloudy.

In the morning, it is better for the visitor to wake up before the sunrise to see the sunrise; it is also one of the best moments to enjoy as you visit the desert. Breakfast will be served before taking the camels again, the camel leaders will head for a full experience, it is to visit the nomads who live nearby, and this visit allows tourists to experience the hard life the nomads live, lunch will be with a Berber nomad family there. After spending a day in the Sahara and going back to the tents, in the other morning, the tourists will be taken back to the hotel or the raid where they started first. The full experience with camel trekking ends in the morning.
