Depending on your arrival time in Merzouga, this adventure begins with a leisurely lunch to prepare for the journey ahead. The camels carry food, blankets, and all necessary supplies for the desert trip. As we set off, you’ll be amazed by the vast golden dunes stretching to the horizon. Our route leads to a small, hidden oasis nestled in the dunes, where we will spend our first night. If the weather is clear, we will enjoy a spectacular starry night, far from the lights of civilization. After a hearty dinner, we will gather around a campfire to share stories and bask in the tranquil beauty of the desert night.
In the morning, after a good breakfast, we will embark on a two-hour trek to our next destination. Our journey includes a half-hour break for lunch under the shade of a Tamariz tree, a common sight in the desert landscape. This rest stop provides a perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the serene environment. After lunch, we will continue our journey to the home of a Touareg family, where we will spend the night. This stay offers a unique chance to interact with the family, learn about their customs, and experience their way of life firsthand.
The following morning, we will have breakfast with the Touareg family before moving on to another small oasis in the desert. Here, we will set up camp with a nomadic Berber family, further enriching our understanding of the diverse cultures that inhabit the Sahara. After breakfast the next day, we will return to the village or hostel, concluding our desert adventure.
Throughout this three-day camel trekking tour, you can expect to spend 90 minutes to two hours each day either walking in single file or riding a camel. This immersive experience offers a perfect blend of adventure and cultural exploration.
