2 Days Merzouga Desert Trip from Ouarzazate

Merzouga is a Berber town on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Every tour going to the dunes will pass through Merzouga. The town itself is quite small and is the starting point for the camel ride to the night camps in the desert. Usually, you will be able to ride a camel for a couple of a few hours at sunset to reach the desert camp, where you will sleep in comfortable tents.

Before the night, a Berber dinner with music is served to the guests. You will be able to spend the night as you wish, climbing the dunes and looking at the stars. Since the desert has almost no artificial light, the sky will be full of stars.
