The journey is punctuated with stops at panoramic viewpoints where you can soak in the vastness of the palm groves and the stark beauty of the Middle Atlas Mountains.
As we approach Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes, the true magic of the desert starts to unveil. We’ll arrive at a traditional riad where you can relax and prepare for the desert adventure that awaits. As night falls, the desert sky reveals an awe-inspiring display of stars, a perfect prelude to the adventures that await.
Day 2: Merzouga to Erg Chebbi Dunes
The second day is dedicated to discovering the enchanting beauty of the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast, we embark on a camel trek, an iconic way to explore the undulating desert landscape. The rhythm of the desert is calming, and the vastness is humbling. We’ll visit local nomadic families, sharing in their traditions and understanding their way of life, unchanged for centuries.
Midday brings a visit to Khamlia village, known for its inhabitants of Gnawa musicians. Here, the soulful melodies provide a soundtrack to the desert’s silence. Lunch is an affair to remember, enjoyed in the cool shade of a desert oasis.
As the day wanes, we prepare for one of the desert’s most awe-inspiring sights – the sunset over the dunes. As the sun dips below the horizon, the dunes shift from gold to amber to red, a truly mesmerizing spectacle. The night is spent in a desert camp, where the silence and majesty of the Sahara are your companions.
