Berber overnight camp in Merzouga dunes

Overview:

An overnight stay at a Berber desert camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga is one of Morocco’s most iconic travel experiences. Our overnight package follows a standard magical structure: arriving at the desert edge in the late afternoon, embarking on a sunset camel trek or 4x4 ride into the dunes, dining on traditional tagines, enjoying a fire-lit evening of Berber drumming, stargazing, and waking up early for a spectacular Saharan sunrise.

Highlights:

Arrive at the hotel in Merzouga to park your car and prepare for your desert night.

One-hour sunset camel trek (or a 20-minute 4x4 ride) over the golden sand sea to the camp.

Welcome mint tea at the camp, followed by sandboarding down the dunes as dusk falls.

Freshly cooked Moroccan feast, including Tajine, couscous, and traditional soups.

Traditional live Berber drumming and chanting around a central campfire under the Milky Way.

Wake up early to catch the desert sunrise, eat a hearty breakfast, and trek back to town.

Itinerary:

Berber overnight camp in Merzouga dunes.

This trip begins in the evening with a one-hour camel ride to reach the Berber camp in the middle of the desert. The trek will start right into the desert at 17:30 PM.

We will spend the night in the camp between the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi Desert.

This is a great opportunity to take lovely pictures of the sunset and sunrise.

When we arrive at the camp, we walk to the dunes to see the sunset.

It will be a magical night when the sky is clear and the stars sparkle and shine with intensity. In the night, there will be a wonderful dinner with Berber music.

You will have your own private tent with a private bathroom.

In the morning, you will walk up to the dunes near the camp for sunrise.

After that, you will have a Berber breakfast. Later, we will ride the camels back to the hotel.

It is also possible to go to the camp by Jeep outward and return. Both options are included.
