Slow down and truly connect with the Sahara on a 4-day Merzouga Desert experience. Ride camels across Erg Chebbi, meet nomadic families, enjoy Berber music by firelight, and explore golden dunes by day and stars by night.

Day 1: Arrival in Merzouga – Camel Trek & Desert Welcome
• Arrive in Merzouga, nestled at the edge of the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes, and check into your desert accommodation. Take time to unwind and absorb the calm desert atmosphere.
• In the late afternoon, set off on a camel trek across the golden Sahara dunes, perfectly timed to witness a breathtaking sunset as the sands glow in warm amber tones. Reach your desert camp where a traditional Moroccan dinner awaits. As night falls, gather around the campfire for Berber music, drumming, and storytelling, and enjoy your first magical night under the star-filled desert sky.

Day 2: Sunrise, Culture & Desert Exploration
• Begin the day with an early sunrise camel trek, watching the Sahara awaken in soft hues of gold and rose. Return for a special desert breakfast, surrounded by silence and endless dunes.
• Later, visit Rissani, a historic Saharan trading town known for its lively traditional markets and ksours. Continue to Khamlia Village, famous for its hypnotic Gnawa music, where African rhythms tell stories of heritage and resilience.
• In the afternoon, relax at your accommodation or choose from optional adventures such as quad biking, a 4x4 desert excursion, or a visit to a local fossil workshop. End the day with a nomadic-style dinner, followed by unforgettable stargazing beneath crystal-clear desert skies.

Day 3: Desert Adventures & Nomadic Encounters
• After breakfast, embrace the thrill of sandboarding on the dunes, then explore the surrounding desert landscape on foot or by vehicle.
• Later, visit a local nomadic family, gaining meaningful insight into traditional Berber life, hospitality, and survival in the Sahara. Spend the afternoon at leisure—relax, explore independently, or enjoy Moroccan mint tea in a nearby village café.
• As evening approaches, set out on a sunset 4x4 excursion, experiencing the desert from a new perspective before returning for dinner and a peaceful night in the desert.

Day 4: Farewell to the Sahara
• Enjoy a relaxed final morning in the desert, with time for a gentle walk among the dunes or an optional last camel ride. After breakfast, check out of your accommodation and depart from Merzouga, carrying with you the silence, beauty, and unforgettable spirit of the Sahara.
