Golden dunes, camel treks, and a sky full of stars
The Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga are among the most photogenic landscapes in Africa. Fed by wind-blown sand from the Algerian desert, these towering golden formations change colour dramatically from pale gold at noon to deep orange and crimson at sunset.
A camel trek into the dunes at sunset, followed by a night in a luxury Berber desert camp under the Milky Way, is an experience that stays with travellers for life. The silence of the Sahara at night is unlike anything else — broken only by the sound of Berber music around a campfire.
Beyond the dunes, the Merzouga region offers encounters with nomadic families, visits to oasis villages, and explorations of ancient fossils embedded in the local rock. The nearby town of Rissani is home to one of Morocco's most authentic weekly souks.
