Overview

The Overnight Merzouga Camel trek is unlike any other. Most people will only see scenery and views like these in movies! Camel trekking in Merzouga over the course of a night is a journey that everyone should do at least once in their life.

The most famous place to go camel trekking in Morocco is Merzouga. This overnight camel trekking trip includes a night in a private nomad-style tent in the Erg Chebbi dunes. At this cozy camp, you can ride camels and watch the sun go down while eating a tasty meal. In the morning, you can wake up to a beautiful sunrise while riding camels. Your guide makes sure that you are picked up from your hotel and that the experience is one to remember by taking care of the details while you enjoy the warmth of the Berber people.

Overnight Camel Trekking in Merzouga Itinerary

Day 1: Meet up - Camel ride - Arrival to the camp

Overnight Camel Trek in Merzouga is spending the night in a desert camp, and watching the sun go down over the sand dunes.

This overnight camel trip starts from the Hotel in Merzouga in the afternoon (4–5 p.m., depending on the season).
The duration of camel ride takes about an hour and a half to get to the Desert camp, which includes a break to rest, climb the dunes for great views of the sunset, take pictures, and sandboard.

Once you arrive at the camp, they will serve you mint tea in the traditional way in the desert as a welcome. You’ll spend the night in a Berber Beduin tent.

After enjoying the views of the golden sand dunes, you will have a traditional dinner. Then, you will engage in the Berber party around the campfire listening to the desert drums. Finally, you can get to your private tent under the stars.

Day 2: Sunrise - Breakfast - Camel ride

Early in the morning, getting up to see the beautiful sunrise over the dunes is worth it.

After that, there will be a full breakfast and a hot shower in the camp. You can choose to take camels or 4×4 vehicles back to the Kasbah Hotel in the town.

Your Merzouga Overnight Camel Trek ends here at our hotel. You’ll have a lot of memories, feelings, and maybe even a new view on life.

Reviews about overnight camel trekking in Merzouga

Camel Trekking

We booked a desert tour and it was fantastic! Hamid is an incredible guide. He responded to every question we posed and took hundreds of photographs of us. There are no hidden costs or gimmicks. If you're afraid (as we were prior to visiting the desert) that camels will be treated inhumanely, fear not. Animals are respected, work less than four hours per day, and appear to be content. I would strongly recommend him and this tour.

Overnight Camel Trekking in Merzouga

Great guide to the desert!!! Aziz was friendly and helpful without being too much. He taught us a lot about camels and gave us great ideas for pictures of desserts. We now have wonderful memories and saw a beautiful sunset. After taking many pictures, Aziz gave us some room to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We couldn't have asked for a better time in the desert! What can I say about the camp night? The Berber party around the fire was especially more than we thought it would be. I really think you should go camel riding overnight in Merzouga.

Lovely People

The overnight camel trekking tour in the Sahara Desert of Merzouga was incredible! The nice camel man let me have a great time with his trusty camels and took lots of lovely pictures and videos of me. He often asked me if I was too tired because he cares about me. He also taught me some interesting things about camels and how he was born in Amazigh. The friendly camels and beautiful scenery really wowed me. He was also very nice and very good at taking pictures and movies. Going on a tour in Morocco is something you will always remember and value highly.
