Merzouga Desert Luxury Camp & Camel Ride with Dinner

Summary

Private Sahara Overnight with Camel Trek & Sandboarding

Get ready to ride camels through glowing Merzouga dunes at sunset, try sandboarding with friends, and spend a cozy night in a private luxury camp—complete with dinner under Saharan stars and your own hot shower. This is your chance to experience Morocco’s desert magic in comfort you’ll remember long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

We were already laughing by the time we climbed onto the camels—my friend kept saying she’d never ridden anything taller than her old bike back home. The sun was low, that kind of orange that makes the sand look like it’s glowing from inside. Our guide, Hassan, handed us mint tea right before we set off. I remember the smell—sweet and sharp—and how the wind felt cool even though it was still warm on my face.

Honestly, I didn’t expect the quiet out there. It’s just you, the camels, and this endless ripple of dunes. Hassan pointed to a spot where we’d stop for sunset—he said it was his favorite view in all of Merzouga. We slid off our camels and just sat in the sand for a while, watching everything turn gold and then pink. Someone tried sandboarding (I wiped out immediately but it was worth it). The main keyword here is “merzouga desert luxury camp”—and yeah, it really felt like something special.

Dinner was served outside under these woven lanterns, and I swear I can still taste that tagine—spiced but not too heavy. There was music too: just a couple of guys drumming softly while we ate. Later, when we finally crawled into our heated tents (private bathroom! hot shower!), I lay awake for a bit listening to nothing but wind on canvas. The next morning, sunrise over the dunes made me wish we could stay another night.
