A Sahara night beneath the stars
Experience the changing light of the Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga on a privately arranged camel and desert camp excursion. This is an introduction to the Sahara’s landscapes and atmosphere, with choices around the camp category, activity and return arrangements.
Suggested overnight experience
Day 1 — Merzouga, sunset dunes and desert camp
Meet the local team at a confirmed point in Merzouga. Depending on conditions and your booking, travel across or alongside the dunes by camel for an atmospheric sunset view, then reach your desert camp for the evening. Meals, entertainment and tent facilities are not automatic and will be specified in your quote.
Day 2 — Desert sunrise and return to Merzouga
Rise early for the morning light across the dunes before returning to the agreed meeting point. Exact return timing depends on the camp and transfer chosen.
Your accommodation choices
Desert camps differ in sleeping arrangements, bathrooms, heating or cooling, bedding and dining facilities. Tell us whether you prefer a traditional setup or an upgraded level of comfort, and confirm accessibility and luggage arrangements before reserving.
