3 Days / 2 Nights Camel Trekking in Merzouga: Itinerary
Day 1 - Camel Trek to Our Traditional Desert Camp
Your 2 Nights Camel Trekking in Merzouga adventure begins with your arrival at our hotel in Merzouga. We’ll welcome you with a glass of traditional Moroccan mint tea while you relax before your journey into the Sahara. If you’re travelling by car, you can leave it safely in our private parking area, and we’ll also provide a secure room where you can store any luggage you don’t need during the trek. Before departure, you’re welcome to relax by the swimming pool and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Around two hours before sunset, you’ll meet your local camel guide and begin your camel trek across the spectacular Erg Chebbi dunes. As you ride through the golden sands, your guide will share stories about desert life and the traditions of the local Amazigh families. Before reaching the camp, we’ll stop on one of the highest dunes to admire the unforgettable Sahara sunset and capture beautiful photographs.
When you arrive at our traditional desert camp, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing glass of Moroccan mint tea before settling into your private tent. After a delicious homemade Moroccan dinner, we invite you to gather around the campfire to enjoy traditional Amazigh music beneath the stars. This is the perfect time to ask your guide about life in the Sahara, local traditions, or the fascinating wildlife of the desert. Later, take a peaceful walk through the dunes to admire the Milky Way and, if you’re lucky, spot a shooting star. We also recommend waking up early the following morning to experience one of the most beautiful sunrises in the Erg Chebbi Desert.
Day 2 - Hidden Oasis Adventure and Second Night in the Sahara
After a traditional Moroccan breakfast, we’ll prepare for a full day of exploring the heart of the Erg Chebbi Desert. Our team will load everything needed for the journey onto the camels while you can choose to ride or walk alongside them whenever you wish. Walking through the soft golden dunes is a wonderful way to connect with the peaceful beauty of the Sahara.
As we travel deeper into the desert, we’ll stop to rest, enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and learn about the unique landscape that surrounds us. Our destination is a hidden oasis, known mainly by local people, where we’ll enjoy a freshly prepared picnic in the shade of the palm trees. Here, you’ll have plenty of free time to relax, read a book, climb the nearby dunes, or simply enjoy the silence that makes the Sahara so special.
Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the fascinating plants and wildlife of the desert. With a little luck, you may spot a sand fish, a jerboa, a desert hare, a hedgehog, or even the footprints of a desert fox. As the afternoon becomes cooler, we’ll continue to our second desert camp, arriving in time to enjoy another spectacular sunset over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After dinner, relax beneath one of the clearest night skies in Morocco and enjoy another peaceful evening in the heart of the Sahara.
Day 3 - Sunrise and Return to Merzouga
Your final morning in the Sahara is yours to enjoy at your own pace. We highly recommend waking before sunrise to witness the first light spreading across the Erg Chebbi dunes, creating one of the most unforgettable views in Morocco. After breakfast, it’s time to return to Merzouga.
You can choose to ride your camel back through the desert or, if you prefer, return comfortably by 4×4 vehicle.

FAQs 2 Nights Camel Trekking in Merzouga
Why should I choose a 2-night camel trek instead of a 1-night tour?
A two-night camel trek allows you to experience the Sahara at a slower pace. Instead of simply visiting the dunes, you’ll have time to explore hidden areas of Erg Chebbi, enjoy a picnic in a desert oasis, learn about local Amazigh traditions, and experience both the peaceful days and magical nights of the Sahara.

As a local family from Merzouga, we take you beyond the usual tourist routes. We share the places where we grew up, explain how people have lived in the desert for generations, and introduce you to the natural beauty of Erg Chebbi. Our goal is to give you an authentic experience, not just a camel ride.
Will I have time to explore the desert on foot?
Yes. One of the advantages of spending two nights in the desert is having time to slow down and enjoy the landscape. You can walk across the dunes, relax in a hidden oasis, climb the highest sand dunes, or simply enjoy the silence while your guide shares stories about life in the Sahara.
