Our expertly guided camel treks combine breathtaking landscapes, Berber hospitality, luxury desert camps, and unforgettable moments beneath one of the clearest night skies in the world.
Merzouga is internationally recognized as Morocco’s premier destination for camel trekking thanks to its spectacular Erg Chebbi dunes, which rise up to 150 meters (500 feet) high.
