ITINERARY FOR: SUNRISE CAMEL TOUR IN MERZOUGA

Your sunrise camel trek begins in the quiet pre-dawn hours, when the desert is still enveloped in cool, predawn calm. You will meet your experienced camel guide near your accommodation or at a designated meeting point in Merzouga village.

After a brief introduction and safety orientation, you will mount your camel and begin your journey into the dunes. The ride typically lasts approximately 30 minutes, allowing you to gradually ascend toward one of the higher dunes of Erg Chebbi. As you move deeper into the desert, the stillness becomes more pronounced, offering a rare sense of solitude and connection with the surrounding landscape.

Upon reaching the base of a prominent dune, you will dismount and continue on foot for a short climb to the summit. The ascent is gentle yet rewarding, and once at the top, you will be greeted by an extraordinary panoramic view stretching endlessly across the Sahara.

As the sun rises above the horizon, the desert awakens in a breathtaking display of light and color. The dunes shift from cool violet shadows to warm golden brilliance within minutes. This is an ideal moment for photography, quiet contemplation, or simply absorbing the immensity of the landscape.

For those seeking a touch of adventure, sandboarding can be arranged on the slopes of the dunes. The soft sand makes it accessible even for beginners, adding a playful dimension to the experience.

After enjoying the sunrise and the tranquil atmosphere of the Sahara, you will descend to rejoin your camels and ride back to Merzouga village. The return journey allows you to observe the desert fully illuminated by daylight, revealing intricate patterns sculpted by the wind.

Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel or riad, concluding your sunrise camel tour with memories of one of the most magical moments the Moroccan Sahara has to offer.
