Dive into the heart of the Sahara with three unforgettable days in Merzouga. Ride camels across Erg Chebbi, experience nomadic traditions, explore desert villages, and sleep under star-filled skies for a truly immersive Moroccan desert adventure.

Day 1: Arrival in Merzouga – Camel Trek & Sahara Night
• Arrive in Merzouga, a desert jewel in southeastern Morocco, famed for the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi. Check into your accommodation—either a comfortable desert hotel or a traditional Sahara camp.
• In the late afternoon, meet your camel guide and set off on a camel trek across the golden dunes, perfectly timed to witness a breathtaking Sahara sunset. Continue to your desert camp, where a freshly prepared Moroccan dinner awaits beneath the stars.
• As night falls, gather around the campfire for Berber drumming, music, and storytelling, followed by unforgettable stargazing under crystal-clear desert skies—a magical introduction to life in the Sahara.

Day 2: Sunrise, Culture & Desert Exploration
• Wake early for a serene sunrise camel trek, as the first light gently paints the dunes in warm hues. After breakfast, travel to Rissani, home to one of the region’s most authentic traditional markets, rich with Saharan history.
• Continue to Khamlia Village, renowned for its soulful Gnawa music, where African rhythms tell stories of heritage and resilience. Return to Merzouga in the afternoon for relaxation or optional adventures such as quad biking or a 4x4 desert excursion across the dunes.
• In the evening, enjoy a traditional nomadic dinner, accompanied by local music and tales passed down through generations—your second magical night beneath the Saharan sky.

Day 3: Sandboarding, Villages & Departure
• Begin the day with an adrenaline-filled sandboarding experience on the dunes, followed by exploration of the surrounding desert landscape.
• Visit the peaceful village of Hassilabied to experience everyday Berber village life, then stop at the seasonal Merzouga Lake (Dayet Srij), a fascinating natural saltwater lake that often attracts migratory birds.
