Blog Sunset in the dunes of Merzouga

A trip to the desert in Morocco is not complete without a camel trek in the dunes. For those who are fascinated by the caravans that cross the African deserts between mythical cities carrying sought after products such as salt, it's an opportunity to feel like a nomad for a few moments.

The sunset tour starts around 5pm. It takes about half an hour to reach the Erg Chebbi sand dunes at the top of a camel, then we will leave the camels and in about 80 meters you will reach the highest dune of Erg Chebbi Merzouga. For those who want to see a panoramic view, they have to climb to the top.

The hike to the summit will take you another 10 minutes, if you prefer not to hike in the highest dunes, the area around the camel "parking" is perfect for watching the sunset, after enjoying the sunset, travel back to the village, stopping by the gardens.
