Discover the Activities in the Merzouga Desert
The Merzouga desert offers much more than sandy landscapes and high dunes. Here you can enjoy authentic experiences, relax in the tranquillity of the Sahara and discover the local culture and traditions in a special way.
From camel trekking across the dunes to sandboarding, from quad excursions to desert walks, every activity lets you experience Merzouga from a different perspective. When evening comes, you can listen to Berber music around the fire, admire the starry sky, enjoy a romantic dinner or simply relax in our camp.
Whether you are looking for adventure, culture, romantic moments or simply a little peace and quiet, the Merzouga Sahara offers plenty of ways to make your stay truly special.
Camel trekking is one of the must-do experiences in the Merzouga Sahara Desert. Riding a camel across the high dunes to a viewpoint to watch the sunset is an unforgettable experience. It is also an authentic way to discover how the Berber and nomadic peoples travelled across the desert.
If you stay at our luxury camp in Merzouga or choose one of our desert packages, camel trekking is included in your experience.
A night in the Sahara is not just about staying in a charming camp, enjoying great food and the hospitality of our Berber team. It is also a chance to live authentic moments and get to know the local culture better.
After dinner, sit around the fire with your loved ones and let yourself be carried away by the rhythms of Berber music under a sky full of stars. Traditional music, stories and moments of cultural exchange make the evening truly special, creating an atmosphere that seems straight out of a dream.
If you love skiing or snowboarding, sandboarding is the perfect activity for you. Carry your board to the top of the Merzouga dunes, get ready and glide down the soft Sahara sand.
You can repeat the experience as many times as you like and have fun on the dunes at your own pace. Sandboarding is included when you spend a night at our luxury camp or book one of our desert packages.
For those who want to explore the dunes in a faster, more adrenaline-filled way, a quad bike is a great choice. Driving an ATV through the desert landscape lets you reach more remote areas and experience the Sahara from a completely different perspective.
Quad biking is an extra activity and can be added to our desert tours. The cost is 60 EUR per hour per quad and you only pay for the time you actually use.
Walking among the dunes of Merzouga is a simple but very relaxing experience. Leave the noise and rush of everyday life behind you and immerse yourself in the silence of the Sahara.
A walk on the sand, especially barefoot, lets you connect directly with nature and enjoy a moment of calm. Breathe deeply, listen to the silence, look at the dunes around you and take a few moments to clear your mind and find your balance again.
Far from the cities and light pollution, the Merzouga desert offers perfect conditions for admiring the night sky.
In big cities, artificial lights often hide most of the stars. In the Sahara, instead, you can simply look up and admire a dark, clear sky full of stars.
Lie down on the sand, relax and let yourself be captivated by the vastness of the universe. It is a special moment to be close to nature and experience the magic of the Sahara.
Watching the sunset and sunrise from the high dunes of Merzouga is one of the most beautiful experiences in the Sahara.
Watch the sun slowly sink below the horizon, turning the sand into beautiful shades of gold and orange. At dawn, the desert changes colour again as the first rays of the sun light up the dunes.
It is an experience not to be missed when visiting Merzouga, perfect for taking unforgettable photos and enjoying the magic of the desert in complete tranquillity.
Our camp has been designed with your comfort in mind, creating different spaces where you can simply slow down and enjoy the atmosphere of the Sahara.
Relax on the comfortable sofas, sit near the candles and lanterns, read a book or simply close your eyes and listen to the sounds of nature.
You can also meditate, gaze at the landscape or treat yourself to a moment of your own. In the desert there is no need to rush: sometimes the best thing to do is simply to stop.
Enjoy a special moment away from the camp with a picnic surrounded only by the dunes of Merzouga.
We can set up a table in a quiet, secluded area of the desert, where you can enjoy the landscape in complete privacy. The food can be prepared on the spot or brought from the camp restaurant, together with water and everything you need.
Sit on the sand, savour your meal and enjoy the peace of the Sahara in a completely natural setting.
