Description
A trip to the desert in Morocco is not complete without a camel trek in the dunes. For those who are fascinated by the caravans which crossed the African deserts between mythical cities transporting wanted products like salt, this is the opportunity to feel like a nomad for one night. Experience Morocco with a camel trek through the dunes of Erg Chebbi Desert on this overnight trip through the Sahara. Try sand-boarding and drumming, then enjoy traditional tagine and sweet mint tea before camping under the stars in a Berber tent. This is a tour created for any quantity up to 50 people.

Itinerary
Erg Chebbi Dunes
Hospitable and friendly nomads, who are experienced guides, will accompany you on the whole trip. They know the desert well and will share traditions and culture from the nomadic life style. We will prepare all the necessary equipment, like tents, cooking equipment, food and drinks etc. During the days you will walk and ride on camels. In the afternoons, before the sun sets, you find a suitable place to set up a provisional camp for the night. The nomads set up the tents and cook dinner and tea on the camp fire. After dinner they play the traditional drums and sing and you are welcome to sing along. Sleep in a tent or outside under the stars. In the mornings the nomads prepare breakfast, before you continue the trekking into the desert. This is a unique opportunity to experience the desert silence, the freedom and be surrounded by amazing nature with spectacular sunsets and starlit nights.

Camels and Camping in the Sahara

AMAZING ADVENTURE!!
First, Mustafa is SO nice and welcoming! Camel trekking with friendly guides and well trained clean camels at sunset and sunrise along with exquisite Moroccan cuisine for both dinner and breakfast—just fantastic. We would have happily paid twice and it would have been worth it.

Beautiful experience in the desert
Very welcome and good organization. We were able to do a quad bike tour and a camel ride. The camp was human-sized and one further away from other camps. It was very quiet, we enjoyed it very much. Breakfast was hearty and good.

Highlight of the Morocco holiday
The trip into the desert was the highlight of our Morocco trip. The camel ride will be remembered - it was just the right length, was well-instructed and led to an idyllic desert camp. The guides were very friendly and multi-talented, and also took excellent photographs. Sleeping in the camp was also very pleasant, and the food was very good and plentiful. An all-round successful experience.
