Our Merzouga Sunset Camel Trek in Erg Chebbi begins in the late afternoon, when the heat of the day starts to soften and the desert becomes calm. Your local camel guide will meet you at your camp or hotel and help you get ready for this gentle and unforgettable moment.

The silence is peaceful you can hear only the quiet steps of the camels and the warm desert breeze. It feels like the whole Sahara is preparing for the magic of the evening.
