Tour overview
A night under the Sahara stars — sunset camel trek and luxury desert glamping
Embark on the ultimate overnight desert experience in Merzouga — a sunset camel trek into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes followed by a night of glamping in a luxury Berber camp beneath a star-filled Sahara sky.
Sleep in a private Berber tent that blends authentic desert living with modern comfort — real beds, en-suite bathrooms — and gather around the campfire for a traditional Moroccan dinner, live drumming and stargazing far from any light pollution.
Wake for a magical Sahara sunrise, enjoy a Berber breakfast at camp, and ride back by camel (or 4×4) to Merzouga by mid-morning — an unforgettable, accessible taste of the desert for all ages.
