I had an unforgettable experience on the 1-night camel trek in the Merzouga Sahara Desert! The adventure started with a mesmerizing camel ride through the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, where we watched the sun set over the vast desert—a sight that took my breath away. Our guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing stories about the Berber culture and the desert’s unique ecosystem. The camp was well-organized, with comfortable tents, delicious traditional Moroccan food, and a cozy campfire under a star-filled sky. I felt truly immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the Sahara. Waking up to the sunrise over the dunes was the perfect end to a magical experience. Highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an authentic desert adventure!

"My night in the Merzouga Desert was an experience I'll cherish forever! The camel trek was both peaceful and exciting as we traveled through the vast, golden dunes. Our guide was wonderful—very hospitable, and shared a wealth of knowledge about the desert and Berber traditions. The camp was surprisingly comfortable with clean, well-equipped tents, and the food was some of the best I had in Morocco! I loved sitting around the campfire, stargazing, and listening to the rhythmic beats of Berber drums. It was the perfect balance of adventure and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Morocco!"
