“Time stops in the desert…”

INCLUDED

✧ Camel trekking or 4×4 ride to the camp ✧ Dinner and breakfast ✧ Full equiped haima ✧ Live berber music show ✧ Camel trekking or 4×4 ride back to the village

One of the most eagerly awaited moments for many of the tourists who visit Morocco is the arrival in the Sahara desert. To discover it in the most authentic way we propose you an experience that includes spending a night in our camp in the desert of Merzouga, under an incredible mantle of stars. An experience difficult to forget, accessible to all audiences.

The trip to our Merzouga luxury desert camp

The excursion begins in the afternoon. The camp is located in the middle of the sea of dunes so the road requires crossing part of the dunes of the desert of Merzouga. In order to get there, most tourists choose to do so by camel, in the way that the Berbers who inhabit the area have traditionally moved through the sand dunes. If the idea of the dromedary is not for you, it also offers the possibility of crossing the dunes by 4×4.

Magic night in the desert camp

Once arrived at the camp where we will spend the night we let the camels rest in the “parking of camels”. As soon as we arrive, we offer Moroccan tea and pastas and we deliver the tents. Our carefully decorated tents are equipped with everything you need to enjoy a pleasant stay away from noise and stress.

There will be free time before dinner to enjoy the magic of the desert. In the middle of the dunes the time stops and the senses are sharpened, it is a sensation that can only be experienced in places like this. The desert offers a multitude of possibilities and everyone can enjoy it in their own way.

Dinner is served in the large jaima-restaurant. Authentic Berbers will serve us specialties of Moroccan cuisine. For cultural reasons, alcoholic beverages are not included in the menu but can be ordered in advance. After dinner a bonfire will be lit around which we will sit to listen to traditional Berber songs played live. In Berber culture, both men and women have been playing drums since childhood. Those interested will be able to learn to play some rhythms with their drums.

Before going to sleep, anyone who wants  can climb one of the dunes surrounding the camp to admire the thousands of stars that can be seen from the infinity of the desert.

The next morning visitors will be called early for those who want to see the sunrise. In this case it is worth the effort to get up. A full breakfast is then served at the jaima-restaurant. After some time to pick up, we head back to the village in the way each one has chosen, thus ending this unforgettable excursion.

For the more adventurous there is the possibility of hiring some activity in the desert such as driving quads, buggies or a ride through the dunes in 4×4.
