    A 4x4 transfer from Merzouga or Hassi Labied, a camel ride, or both.

  2. Sunset in the dunes

    Arrival timed for the evening light, with time to climb a dune before dinner.

  3. Dinner at camp

    Usually Moroccan soup, salads, a tagine and fruit, served at the camp.

  4. Your tent for the night

    From simple nomad tents to suites with private bathrooms — the tent type is always stated.

  5. Sunrise and breakfast

    Watch the sun rise over the erg, then breakfast before returning to Merzouga.

  6. Return transfer

    Back to your car, your guesthouse or your driver in the morning.
