One night in Desert Camp Merzouga With Camel’s ride
This is our most popular tour. The trip begins in the afternoon. It starts with a camel ride from a hotel near the sand dunes. The camels are packed with food, blankets and everything what we will need. The trek starts right into the desert with one hour and a half camel ride, till we reach the camp. Be ready for the best sunset ever in the high dunes!
After the welcome tea, you will be able to enjoy the stars and the shiny moon, in the darkest and clearest night you can see. We taste some local food for dinner and talk with local people in the full equipped camp, with drums music and great environment in the middle of the Sahara.
