BOOK ACTIVITY
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.
BOOK ACTIVITY
The quad and buggy rides around the Merzouga dunes offer a thrilling and enchanting experience. Feel the excitement as you navigate the sand dunes on a quad, with the option to extend your adventure by staying overnight in a Merzouga camp. The best way to explore the Merzouga desert is through our services, led by experienced local guides and drivers who expertly navigate the terrain, taking you along the Algerian border. At Amskou Camp, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional guides and services, ensuring an unforgettable buggy or quad ride through the mesmerizing desert landscape.
BOOK ACTIVITY
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.
