Details of the camel trek through the Moroccan desert
Your camel trek through the Moroccan desert begins around 5:30 p.m., when you will mount your camel and set off on a gentle ride of approximately half an hour towards the dunes. Once surrounded by the desert, you will leave the camels behind and continue on foot towards higher dunes.
For those seeking panoramic views, a short 10-minute climb will take you to the top of one of Merzouga’s highest dunes, where the vast Sahara stretches endlessly around you. As the sun sets on the horizon, the sands light up with brilliant shades of orange, red, and pink. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, you can simply rest on the smaller dunes nearby and enjoy the same mesmerizing landscape.
After plenty of time to take photos and soak up the silence of the desert, the walk continues with a visit to a small desert garden. Here you will discover how ancient underground channels have sustained life for centuries in this arid region. Before nightfall, you will return to the village on the back of your camel, taking with you the memory of a magical sunset in the Sahara. Book your experience now and pay later!
