  • 5Exceptional Desert Experience in Merzouga

    We had an unforgettable experience in the Merzouga Desert, made exceptional by the seamless service and authentic atmosphere provided by the camp. From the warm welcome to the well-organized accommodations, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The highlight was the camel trekking through the golden dunes at sunset an experience that perfectly captured the beauty and tranquility of the Sahara. The team ensured our comfort and enjoyment throughout, combining professionalism with genuine hospitality. For anyone seeking an immersive desert adventure with first-class service, this camp is a top choice.

  • 5Highlight of Morocco Trip ( Desert Experience)

    "We had an incredible experience camel trekking through the stunning Merzouga dunes and spending the night in a luxury camp! Traveling with friends in October, we enjoyed the comfortable tents, delicious meals, and the warm hospitality of the camp staff. The sunset camel ride was unforgettable, and the star-filled desert sky at night was magical. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Morocco!"

    It was a great experience, riding the camels was good, not too hot even in June, and especially the guide Dao (probably spelt wrong) was nice.

  • 5A truly wonderful experience

    This short trip was for sure one of the highlights of our vacation in Morocco and left us in awe with memories to think back of for a lifetime. Sitting on camels and being led by our super friendly guide Sahid we rode through the breathtaking Sahara landscape. During sundown we stopped for a break on one of the dunes. Magical! Afterwards we were warmly welcomed with tea and nuts in one of the camps, which was basic but cozy and definetely more than fine for a short stay. We rested a bit and then a super delicious dinner with several courses was served. Afterwards we mingled around a campfire while a few locals played on several drums - highly skilled and captivating! People danced and laughed and we had a truly great time together! After a solo show we also got the chance to play with them. In the morning we got up early to experience the incredibly atmospheric sunrise, then got served a breakfast and afterwards rode back to Merzouga on camels. Highly recommended experience!

About Merzouga

Merzouga is a village at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in Morocco's Sahara, where camel treks and desert camps head out among tall golden dunes.

Merzouga lies in the south-east of Morocco, not far from the Algerian border, at the edge of Erg Chebbi, a sea of orange dunes that rise as high as about 150 metres. The village is a scatter of flat-roofed mud-brick and concrete houses, with guesthouses and kasbah-style hotels set along the dune edge. The surrounding landscape is stony desert, scattered with oases and dry riverbeds.

Top-ranked sights in Merzouga: Lake Dayet Sriji (Lake of Merzouga).
