Lovely experience - This was a great experience! The sunrise over the dunes is really something special. Our guide brought a sand board as well for us to ride as much as we wanted. He also acted as a photographer to get some beautiful shoots at the top of the dunes. Definitely recommend!

A Night to Remember with Friends in the Merzouga Desert Camp - We spent an unforgettable night with friends in the Merzouga Desert Camp, and it was truly a highlight of our Morocco trip! The camp was nestled among the stunning sand dunes, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The tent was cozy and comfortable, with delicious food and warm hospitality from the staff.
We enjoyed a thrilling camel trek into the desert, watching the sunset over the dunes, and gazing at the star-filled sky. The campfire gathering was a special treat, with local music, stories, and laughter. Our guide, Hassan, was exceptional, sharing insights into the desert's history, culture, and wildlife.
Sharing this experience with friends made it even more special - we enjoyed every moment, from the excitement of the camel trek to the relaxation around the campfire. If you're looking for an authentic desert experience with friends, look no further! Merzouga Desert Camp exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return. Don't miss this incredible adventure!

Memorable Family Adventure - Our family trip to the Merzouga Desert Camp in September was an absolute hit! The kids were thrilled with the camel trek, and exploring the dunes together created unforgettable memories. The camp was well-organized, safe, and family-friendly, with enough activities to keep everyone engaged. The traditional dinner around the campfire was delicious, and the Berber music added to the cultural experience. The night sky was stunning, making this a once-in-a-lifetime family adventure. Highly recommend for families looking for something extraordinary!

Desert camp and camel trekking - If you like bonding with your crew over camel rides, campfires, drum circles, dune boarding, and potentially the best vegetable soup ever, you've found your place. Youssef was very easy to work with when it came to panning our activities, and every staff member he interacted with treated us as if we were much more important than we really are. The tents themselves were so clean, comfortable and much nicer than anything I expected in a desert. Hot showers I said whaaat?! I would absolutely recommend staying here. Thank you youssef for making our stay wonderful
