Sahara Merzouga

When you think of Morocco, you think of the desert. The Erg Chebbi desert is part of the Sahara. An unforgettable experience is to stay a night or longer in the desert. You will be picked up early in the morning from Chez Khadija and will be driven to the desert. This 7-hour drive is done with a luxurious, air-conditioned van exclusively for your family. You will make some stops along the way to see all kinds of sights. The driver we work with is an extremely reliable, responsible, and cheerful guy. His name is Charif. On the way you will enjoy the ever-changing landscape; beautiful views, mountains, date valleys, riverbeds, small villages etc. During the trip you will experience Morocco in all its splendor. Don’t forget to take pictures. Charif knows the better restaurants like the back of his hand. At the end of the afternoon, you arrive in Merzouga, the base. You have the option to go into the desert on camels or with quads. The trip with the camels is magnificent. Soon you will see nothing, but beautifully colored sand and the most beautiful sand dunes loom up. The camels will take you to a luxury tent camp where you will spend the night. But before you go to sleep, you will enjoy dinner and a campfire and locals will bring out their musical instruments.

When it gets dark and there are no clouds in the sky, which is usually the case, you will see a sunset and a starry sky that you will never forget.

You will sleep in your tent – make sure to pack warm clothes like a thick sweater or a jacket as the nights get quite chilly – you will wake up early the next morning to enjoy the sunrise. The camels will bring you back and you will have a hotel room at your disposal to get refreshed and then enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Dive into the swimming pool or take the bus back to Fez with the driver; the choice is yours. One thing is certain: you will come back to Fez enriched with a very special experience indeed!
