The tour was amazing and totally a must!!! It was a lot of traveling in the bus but there is USB charger and air conditioning. There were lots of stops for food, mini tours and of course the guide made sure that everyone was in a good mood (he spoke 5 languages perfectly). Be prepared to have cash or a physical card. I was pleasantly surprised by the great accommodation both nights- private room with clean bathroom. The camel ride was definitely the highlight of the trip with break taking views + there was plenty of time for sand-boarding too. Keep in mind that even though it is not mentioned there is a possibility to have a quad ride (50 euros, or 60 euros for a duo quad) on your way back from the desert camp instead of camel ride. All the tour guides and locals are very nice and friendly. In our group there were some female solo travels who also enjoyed the experience. Only downside is that for the lunches you have to pay for a fixed 3 course menu (around 12 euros). 10/10 experience!

After relaxing in Merzouga, pack a small overnight bag to take on your camel trek across the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Arrive at a traditional Berber camp, leave the camels and walk to the highest dunes to watch the sunset.



Spend the night in Berber nomad tents under the stars, listening to drum music in the middle of the Sahara.
