Day two involves a camel trek across the Dunes of Erg Chebbi, on the outskirts of Merzouga. The dunes at sunrise and sunset are quite amazing. These wind-swept sands form a sea of undulating sandy hills where the only sights to see are camel caravans gracefully and effortlessly negotiating the soft sandy hills.

The entire three-night experience in this 4 days desert tour involves two of the nights spent sleeping out in a Berber camp. The experience is fascinating with many stories of the desert told by the nomads, hundreds of visible stars to witness in the jet black night sky and the gentle beat of the Moroccan drums to help campers drift off to a good night’s sleep under the canopy of a Saharan night.
Riding the camels is usually takes place in the times of sunrise or sunset, so you won’t expect to travel in heat of the late afternoon. The lunch stops at various cafes on the tour are not included in the price, so bring along some cash for extra spending, tips or drinks.
