We drive through Erfoud, known for its fossil workshops, before arriving in Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. In the afternoon, embark on a camel trek across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, witness a magical sunset, and settle into a luxurious desert camp for an unforgettable night under the stars, complete with traditional Berber music.
Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the dunes, then return to Merzouga by camel.
