Arrive in Rissani and board a 4WD vehicle to continue your desert journey. Reach Merzouga in the afternoon, where your guide will welcome you with camels to take you on a one-hour trek across the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
Watch the sunset from your camel’s back, then arrive at the Berber camp to a warm welcome of mint tea. Enjoy a traditional desert dinner and relax beneath the vast, starlit sky. Choose from shared, private standard, or private luxury tents for an unforgettable overnight stay.
