Camel Trekking in the Golden Dunes

A Journey Through the Heart of Erg Chebbi

The Erg Chebbi dunes are among the most stunning natural wonders of Morocco, rising majestically up to 150 meters and stretching as far as the eye can see. Their golden tones change throughout the day — from soft orange at sunrise to deep red at sunset — creating an ever-changing masterpiece of nature.

Our camel trekking tours allow you to travel across these breathtaking dunes just as the nomads have done for centuries. It’s a slow, rhythmic journey that lets you fully absorb the peaceful energy of the Sahara. The gentle sway of your camel, the warm desert breeze, and the vast horizon create a feeling of serenity unlike any other.

What to Expect on Your Camel Trekking Experience

When you join Your Luxury Camp Merzouga for a camel trek, you embark on an adventure that combines authenticity, comfort, and breathtaking beauty.

Our friendly local guides will greet you with warm Berber hospitality, explain the itinerary, and help you get comfortable on your camel. Once you begin your journey, you’ll traverse the golden dunes at a relaxed pace, making stops to take photos, admire the scenery, and enjoy the silence of the desert.

Depending on the duration of your trek, you can choose from:

1-Hour Camel Ride

Perfect for guests who want a short introduction to the desert and a taste of camel riding. Ideal for families and first-time visitors.

Sunset Camel Trek

A magical evening experience that begins a few hours before dusk. Ride your camel to the highest dunes, watch the sun slowly set behind the horizon, and see the desert glow with shades of gold and crimson. It’s a photographer’s dream and one of the most romantic moments in Morocco.

Sunrise Camel Trek

Start your day early with a peaceful morning ride to witness the Sahara sunrise. The cool desert air, the soft colors of dawn, and the stillness of the dunes make this a truly spiritual experience.

Overnight Camel Trek

For those seeking deeper immersion, we offer a full camel trek that ends at our luxury desert camp in the heart of Erg Chebbi. After your ride, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, Berber music under the stars, and a restful night in your private luxury tent. The next morning, you can ride back to the village as the sun rises over the dunes.

The Magic of the Sahara at Sunset and Sunrise

There’s something truly special about watching the sun rise or set over the Sahara Desert. As you sit atop your camel and gaze across the vast sea of sand, you’ll feel the power and peace of nature in its purest form.

At sunset, the dunes glow with deep red and orange hues, and at sunrise, they shimmer with golden light. These are moments that words cannot capture — moments that will stay with you forever.

Guided by True Desert Experts

Our Berber camel guides are not only skilled in leading treks through the desert; they are storytellers, historians, and guardians of centuries-old traditions. They’ll share insights into desert life, local legends, and the nomadic culture that defines this unique region of Morocco.

With their guidance, you’ll not only explore the dunes safely but also gain a deeper appreciation for the desert’s history and spiritual significance.

Comfort and Safety on Every Trek

At Your Luxury Camp Merzouga, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our camels are well cared for and trained for desert trekking. We provide saddle cushions, bottled water, and assistance throughout the ride to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable journey for all guests.

Even first-time riders quickly feel at ease, as our guides adjust the pace and route to match your comfort level.
