One of our favourite activity “camel ride” wondering like a caravan of berbers across the barren desert amongst sand dunes.




A visit to the Sahara desert is definitely an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. It is a journey well worth the effort and you will have fond memories to last you forever. Imagine yourself on top a camel, trekking through the Sahara desert. There is nothing around you and all you can hear are the footsteps of the camel on the soft sand.

One of our favourite activity “camel ride” wondering like a caravan of berbers across the barren desert amongst sand dunes.
The camels are too nice, The camel ride just extra, The photo shoot on the dunes joyful, The absolutely fabulous sunset, ...and laughter was a bonus!
The desert is beautiful but full of motorcycles and quads. There is a lot of noise 24/7. If you aren’t into noisy machines, avoid this place
Must visit place from Fes or Marrakech. Taxi is very expensive so I recommend local agency and they can arrange everything for customers
We left the Elhud hotel at 5:30 in a four-wheel drive Jeep. I came to the Great Dunes of Merzouga, Sahara. A camel sitting and resting and a person camped high to watch the sunrise. A camel resting at the Great Dunes of Merzouga. The building looked like the Great Dunes of Merzouga. It took 40 minutes to get to the Elhud hotel at 8:40 on the Great Dunes of Merzouga in a four-wheel drive car.

The camels and Moroccans who brought us to the Great Dunes of Merzouga are relaxing as we wait for our return. You can't see the desert horizon. If you don't get to the extra high ground, you'll be disturbed by the sand pile because it's very swell. Return to Merzouga Dunes in a four-wheel drive. At 8 o'clock we left the Sahara in a jeep and returned to our hotel at 8:40. It's almost desert, so there's no need to worry about rain.

The desert is beautiful and fascinating but I would no longer do the camel ride as they are treated. They are sweet animals forced to do the same ride as many times a day depending on the number of tourists and treated badly if they do not obey. Animals must be respected!
I went on a tour to see the sunrise in the Sahara. We took a camel ride for about 30 minutes to the best spot in the dark. The sunrise and sunrise I saw in the desert were truly beautiful and inspiring. The camel really suits you with its superb scenery.

We went out late afternoon and climbed a ridge. We then watched the sun go down over the "mountain". We had a wonderful camel-driver/guide who could not be more "fun" and accommodating by taking numerous pictures of us!! He then pulled us down the "mountain" on a blanket...sort of like a snow/sleigh ride!!! All in all, fun and interesting!!
