What to Expect on the Camel Trekking & Overnight in Camp

This is a gentle, immersive overnight adventure. The camel trek to the camp takes about 90 minutes and is suitable for all experience levels.

The evening revolves around authentic Berber hospitality with music, a communal dinner, and stargazing. The following morning, you can choose to return to the village either by camel or by a quicker 4×4 transfer.

FAQ

What are the most popular activities in Merzouga and how long do they last?

  • Popular Activities: The two iconic experiences are Camel Trekking (especially for sunset and sunrise) and Overnight Desert Camping in a traditional Berber tent (or a luxury camp). Other popular options include 4×4 Dune Bashing/Excursions to explore the area (visiting nomads, mines, or the seasonal lake), Quad Biking/ATV tours, and Sandboarding down the high dunes.

  • Duration: Camel treks typically last 1 to 2 hours to reach the camp or sunset spot. The full desert experience, including the trek, camp stay, and return, usually lasts one night/two days, though multi-night tours and half-day 4×4 excursions are also common.
