In the afternoon, you arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here your unforgettable desert experience begins. You will mount camels and slowly ride across the golden sand dunes, enjoying the peaceful silence of the Sahara and the changing colors of the sand as the sun begins to set. After arriving at the desert camp, you will be welcomed with traditional mint tea, followed by a delicious Moroccan dinner.
