2 Nights Merzouga desert Experience!

This incredible 2-night desert experience was a part of our spectacular trip to Morocco. It's an experience of a lifetime that has made our trip enjoyable. Our wonderful guide welcomed us at Merzouga and took us to our camels. We left with our three gorgeous camels, which we called Frank, Kevin, and Bruce because we're from Australia and they didn't seem to have a name. We spent amazing nights and Activities from the drum music to the 4x4 journey and the hospitality of people, everything was wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Merzouga.

Lifetime experience!

We had the full Merzouga Desert experience for two nights with Aziz and Rachid, and our camel ride through the Erg Chebbi dunes with our guide Rachid was amazing. We had a wonderful night at camp with drum songs around the campfire.

The next day we enjoyed the sunrise and sandboarding before heading to the Black Desert where the Berber nomadic family resides and learned about the Berber lifestyle from our knowledgeable guide. We also went to Khamliya village to enjoy the live music of the Gnaoua people and had lunch in a typical Berber restaurant (they serve Berber pizza, so you should try it).
