# 1-Night Merzouga Camel Trek Itinerary

Experience the magic of the Sahara on a **1-night Merzouga camel trek** into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. This overnight desert experience combines a sunset camel ride, a stay in a Sahara camp, traditional Moroccan hospitality and the unforgettable atmosphere of the desert at night.

Departure is normally scheduled for the late afternoon so that the camel trek reaches the dunes in time for sunset. Exact departure time varies depending on the season, camp location, daylight hours and weather conditions.

## DAY 1: MERZOUGA - CAMEL TREK - ERG CHEBBI DESERT CAMP

Meet your camel guide in the Merzouga area and prepare for your journey into the **Erg Chebbi dunes**.

Before departure, luggage arrangements are confirmed so that you only take the items you need for your overnight stay in the desert. Larger luggage can normally be stored safely according to the arrangements made with your accommodation or camp provider.

Your camel trek usually takes around **60 to 90 minutes**, depending on the location of the desert camp and local conditions. Travel at a relaxed pace while your guide leads the camel caravan across the dunes and deeper into the Sahara landscape.

#  Sunset in the Erg Chebbi Dunes

Before reaching the camp, stop at a suitable dune to watch the **sunset over Erg Chebbi**.

As the sun lowers, the dunes change from bright gold to deeper orange and red tones, creating one of the most memorable moments of a Merzouga desert experience. Take time for photographs and enjoy the silence and open views before continuing toward the camp.

#  Arrival at the Desert Camp

Continue by camel to your **Merzouga desert camp**, where you can settle into your tent and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere away from the village and main roads.

Your overnight stay will be in the tent category confirmed with your booking. Camp standards can vary from traditional desert tents to more comfortable luxury-style accommodation with private bathroom facilities. If you require a specific tent type or bathroom arrangement, this should be confirmed before booking.

#  Dinner and Evening in the Sahara

Dinner is served at the camp according to your selected package.

Depending on the camp and local arrangements, the evening may also include traditional Moroccan or Berber music around the campfire.

After dinner, step outside and enjoy the quiet desert atmosphere beneath the **Sahara night sky**. On clear nights, the remote setting and limited artificial light can provide excellent conditions for stargazing over the dunes.

## DAY 2: SAHARA SUNRISE - BREAKFAST - RETURN TO MERZOUGA

Wake early if you would like to experience **sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes**.

The camp team can advise you on the best nearby viewpoint and the approximate sunrise and breakfast schedule. Watching the first light appear across the Sahara is a peaceful way to begin your second day in Merzouga.

#  Breakfast at the Desert Camp

Return to camp for breakfast after sunrise. Enjoy your final moments in the desert before preparing for the return journey toward Merzouga.

#  Return to Merzouga

After breakfast, return toward Merzouga by camel or by the transport option included with your camp package.

The exact return arrangement will be confirmed before departure and may vary depending on the camp, weather conditions and selected package.

Your **1-night Merzouga camel trek** normally finishes in the Merzouga area during the morning, leaving the rest of the day available for onward travel, a 4x4 desert excursion or additional activities in the Sahara.
