After your breakfast at the hotel, our driver/guide will pick you up by Jeep for one of the best experiences in the desert. Your visit to the Merzouga area starts from your hotel, driving by the high dunes of the desert. First, we stop for a panoramic view of the Sahara from a high mountain close to the dunes. Then, we drive to visit nomad families living next to the Moroccan/Algerian border to learn about their culture and how they live in such a harsh environment, sitting under their tents while having a cup of Berber Whiskey (mint tea).

After that, our trip resumes to the M’ifis mascara mountain mine. You’ll explore and get an idea of how workers extract minerals from the heart of the mountains. From there, we head to Khamlia village, settled by the “black-skinned” people, who are famous for their Gnawa music all around the world. Here, you can try Berber Pizza, a recommended meal in Morocco that this area is famous for, while listening and dancing to Gnawa music played by these friendly people.

Later, we visit the Sahara Oasis for a walk among its almond, palm, and fig trees, as well as various vegetable plants. From there, we drive you back to the hotel to get ready for a camel ride to the camp located on the other side of the desert. Your camel man awaits you next to the dunes to lift you by his camels to the desert camp. The camel ride takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes, including an amazing stop for an incredible sunset in the middle of the desert. Your camel guide will take several memorable pictures for you along the ride to the camp.

Upon arriving at the well-equipped camp, you will be welcomed with Moroccan tea and some cookies by the camp workers. In an hour, the staff will serve you a delicious dinner, followed by a fire outside the camp under a sky full of stars, where they will play Berber and African music for you to enjoy and dance around the fire. Overnight at the desert camp.
