Camel Ride in Merzouga

The camel ride through the Sahara desert in Merzouga begins shortly before sunset, typically around 5:30 p.m., although this may vary depending on the season. The journey to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes takes approximately half an hour by camel. Upon reaching the base of the highest dune, we will dismount about 80 meters away and climb to the top to watch the sunset. The ascent to the top, which offers a panoramic view of the desert, takes about 10 minutes. For those who prefer not to climb the highest dunes, the area around the camel "parking" is also ideal for enjoying the sunset. After experiencing the stunning sunset, we will either return to the town or spend the night in a desert camp, depending on your chosen tour. This activity is guided by local experts proficient in leading camel caravans and knowledgeable about every corner of the desert.

Sandboarding in Merzouga

Sandboarding is a sport similar to snowboarding, but it is practiced on the fine sand of the desert rather than on snowy mountains. This recreational activity takes place on sand dunes and has enthusiasts worldwide. It is frequently enjoyed in desert regions or coastal areas with beach dunes. Sandboarding requires a snowboard, and participants slide down the dunes with both feet attached to the board, although some prefer to ride without being strapped in. While it is less popular than snowboarding, partly because it is challenging to install a lift on a sand dune, necessitating a climb back to the top on foot, it remains a thrilling adventure. This activity is guided by an experienced local expert, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience
