Overview

Duration
1 day
Starts in
Merzouga
Ends in
Merzouga

The hour before sunset is when the Sahara is at its most beautiful: the dunes turn from gold to orange to deep red, and the shadows grow long and sharp. On this 2-hour experience your Berber cameleer meets you at your hotel or auberge in Merzouga and leads your camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes. You stop below one of the high dunes, climb the last part on foot and sit on the crest to watch the sun go down over a sea of sand. Mint tea is served before you ride back in the soft evening light. A perfect first taste of the desert, or the highlight of a stay in Merzouga.
