Sahara Merzouga Desert Camp
Camels, golden dunes and a night under a million stars, in the desert where Mbark grew up.
Overview
The Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga are where Mbark was born and raised. This journey crosses the High Atlas, passes UNESCO-listed Aït Ben Haddou and ends in the silence of the Sahara.
You will ride camels at sunset, share tea with a nomad family and sleep in a comfortable tent camp with real beds, dinner and live Berber drums.
