About this journey

Our signature night in the Sahara begins at the edge of Merzouga, where your camel waits as the light turns gold. You ride deep into the Erg Chebbi dunes and arrive at a camp of hand-stitched tents hidden among the sand. There is time to sandboard, to climb the ridge for sunset and to wash off the dust in your own hot shower before dinner is served by lantern light. Gnaoua drumming, mint tea and a sky dense with stars close the evening.

Highlights

  • Sunset camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes
  • Private tent with a real bed, hot shower and en-suite bathroom
  • Dinner, Gnaoua drumming and stargazing at camp
  • Sunrise from the highest dune above camp
