Trip Itinerary

Embark on an enchanting journey through the mesmerizing desert of Merzouga and its neighboring villages, immersing yourself in the rich tapestry of Berber nomadic life. Whether you choose our 4-day package from Fes or Marrakech or opt for a bespoke 4x4 offroad trip to Merzouga, we promise an unforgettable adventure that captures the essence of this remote and stunning locale. Our 4WD sand trips open a gateway to the hidden treasures of Merzouga and its surroundings. Your expert driver will whisk you away from your hotel or camp to explore the charming town of Merzouga and its nearby villages. A stop at Khamlia, the haven of freed Sub-Saharan slaves, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the soul-stirring rhythms of Gnawa music, accompanied by traditional spiritual songs and vibrant dancing—an experience that unveils the profound cultural roots of Morocco. Venture off-road, traversing the Erg Chebbi dunes to discover remote desert villages, abandoned mines, and the warmth of nomadic Berber hospitality. Visit a nomadic Berber family, welcomed with tea and insights into their timeless way of life. These hospitable families, still dwelling in tents woven from camel and goat wools, continue to rely on animal husbandry as a cornerstone of their existence. As lunchtime beckons, we return to Merzouga to savor a culinary delight—the traditional Berber "pizza." This local dish, with meat, vegetables, spices, and eggs nestled in a bread crust, is a culinary hallmark of the nomadic culture in the region. Come late afternoon, meet the iconic dromedaries, one-hump camels native to this Moroccan terrain, and embark on a 70-minute camel ride to our camp nestled amidst the Erg Chebbi dunes. Choose between standard or luxury camp options. Witness the sun bid farewell behind the dunes and, if inclined, partake in a thrilling dune sandboarding adventure. Return to the camp for traditional mint tea, dinner, and a captivating musical performance by our guides, featuring drums and castanets that echo through the desert, breaking its silence with laughter and song. Under the celestial brilliance of the Milky Way, retire to your camp for the night. Gaze upward to witness a sky adorned with stars in a way you've never seen before. This is more than a journey—it's an odyssey into the heart of Merzouga's soul, promising moments that linger in your memory like the echoes of desert melodies.
