Camel excursions for Sun set / Sun rise
This is a thrilling experience for the ones not willing to spend much
time inside the dunes. This option gives you the chance of cruising on
camel back on the dunes just for a couple of hours.
You’ll be taken by one of our employees on camel back, into the dunes
and you’ll spot on the best spot there is to watch either Sun set or
Sun rise. After this small desert tour you’ll return to the hotel, and
if in the morning you will have a great breakfast ahead of you; if in
the afternoon you’ll have a refreshing mint tea waiting for your
arrival.
Overnight bivouac in the dunes of Erg Chebbi in camel excursions
If the weather is cool, you have a Nomad tent to sleep in or perhaps
share a tent with nomads.
We offer Camel treks up to 6 nights in the Erg Chebbi Sand Dunes
A typical trek includes:
1. You begin your adventure by collecting your camel in the afternoon
by the Fossil beds outside of Erfoud. A short ride here to become
familiar with your “ship” in the desert and bed down after a campfire
dinner. Perhaps stay with local folks or sleep under the stars with
your bedding that has been provided.
2. Next morning, you travel along the black desert with volcanic rock,
pass by the dry river bed and the Tisserdimine Oasis is where you
spend the night.
3. The next day, you are comfortable with your beast and can maneuver
a bit in the sand dunes with your camel while looking for nomads to
camp with. They roam around so no guarantees.
4. Next day, continue south in the center of Sand dunes and sleep
there.
5. This day brings another Oasis in the Dunes where you rest behind
the tall dunes of Merzouga.
6. You visit the Mfes Lead mines, the village of Merzouga with its
famous lake with flamingoes (not may these days) and camp near Haven
La Chance Hotel.
This itinerary is flexible as your camel man knows what to do, A
possible sand storm or sudden rain storm requires improvising- and he
is an expert at that and knows what to do. All meals and water and tea
are provided.
