Camel Ride in Merzouga

The camel ride through the Sahara desert in Merzouga typically begins shortly before sunset, around 5:30 p.m., although this may vary by season. The journey to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes lasts approximately 30 minutes by camel. Upon reaching the base of the highest dune, guests will dismount about 80 meters away and climb to the top, a trek that takes roughly 10 minutes and rewards you with a breathtaking panoramic view of the desert at sunset. For those who prefer not to climb, the area around the camel "parking" is also perfect for sunset viewing. Following this spectacular experience, guests can either return to town or spend the night in a desert camp, depending on their selected tour. This activity is expertly guided by local professionals who are skilled in leading camel caravans and possess in-depth knowledge of the desert's hidden gems.

Sandboarding in Merzouga

Sandboarding is an exhilarating sport akin to snowboarding, but instead of snowy mountains, it is practiced on the fine sands of the desert. This exciting activity takes place on sand dunes and is popular among enthusiasts worldwide, particularly in desert regions and coastal areas with beach dunes. Participants use a snowboard to glide down the dunes, with the option to ride either strapped in or without bindings. While sandboarding may be less common than snowboarding—partly due to the challenges of installing lifts on sand dunes, which requires climbers to ascend on foot—it remains a thrilling adventure. Each session is guided by an experienced local expert, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
