Day-by-day itinerary
1Day 1: Choose your Erg Chebbi adventure: quad, sandboard, 4x4 dunes tour, nomad visit, stargazing dinner
Your Merzouga desert experience begins in the early afternoon. You travel through the towering Erg Chebbi dunes — Morocco's most cinematic Sahara landscape, rising up to 150 metres in apricot waves at sunset. Tonight you sleep in a private luxury Berber tent on the Erg Chebbi dunes — real beds, ensuite bathroom, candle-lit dinner and one of the darkest night skies in Morocco for stargazing.
