Itinerary
We depart from Ouarzazate and head toward Merzouga, home to the highest sand dunes in North Africa. The Erg Chebbi desert stretches 20 km long and 5 km wide, offering a unique and diverse environment. Along the way, we’ll pass by several oases, including the oasis of Tinejdad. We continue through small Berber towns like Mellab, Touroug, Erfoud, and Rissani. After visiting the Rissani Market, we enjoy the lush Ziz–Tafilalt oasis and the black Hamada before finally reaching Merzouga.
In the morning, we begin our tour around the dunes of Erg Chebbi. We’ll visit a Berber house and enjoy Gnawa music, a tradition from Ghana and Sudan. Along the way, we explore abandoned mines, meet Berber nomads, and visit a palm tree oasis. Afterward, we head back to Merzouga for lunch and some time to relax. Later, we set off on camels for an exciting adventure in the dunes. We’ll spend the night in an equipped camp, where the rhythm of Berber drums fills the air. It’s the perfect chance to capture stunning photos of both the sunset and sunrise. When we reach the camp, we climb the high dunes to watch the sunset, then spend the night in nomad tents.
After an early sunrise, we ride the camels back to Merzouga. You’ll have time to shower and enjoy breakfast before we begin our journey back to Ouarzazate.
