Passing through the fossil-rich town of Erfoud and the marketplace of Rissani, you'll finally reach the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes.
Here, a camel trek takes you deep into the desert to a traditional camp, where the sunset paints the sky with brilliant hues. As night falls, enjoy the rhythms of Berber drums by the campfire and gaze up at the starlit canvas, perfect for celestial photography.

Rouse yourself in the early hours to witness a Sahara sunrise, a moment of serenity as the first light kisses the sands. After breakfast in the camp, camel trek back to Merzouga to meet your vehicle.
Retrace your route through the Middle Atlas, carrying with you the tranquility of the desert and memories of sunrise over the dunes. As the landscapes of the Atlas give way to the cityscapes of Fes, reflect on the stark beauty of the Sahara.
