About this activity

Experience the Sahara at its most magical—ride a camel across Erg Chebbi's towering red-orange dunes as the sun dips below the horizon. This 2.5-hour private adventure combines iconic desert landscape photography with the authentic thrill of camel trekking in Morocco's largest and most dramatic sand dunes.

Sunset in Merzouga to explore the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes which is considered the biggest and the most beautiful Sahara desert in all Morocco with its red-orange and high sand dunes.

In this short Morocco camel experience you will admire a beautiful sunset, take pictures, enjoy the landscapes of the Sahara, try sandboarding if that's an activity you are interested in. After these unforgettable moments, you will ride the camels back to the original started location with memories that will last forever.

Highlights

  • Private camel ride through Erg Chebbi's signature high dunes
  • Golden-hour sunset photography in the Sahara
  • Optional sandboarding on the dunes
  • Unobstructed views of Morocco's largest dune field
  • Return ride at dusk with unforgettable desert ambiance

Insider tips

  • Book for late afternoon departure to maximise golden-hour light for photos—Erg Chebbi's red dunes glow intensely in the final hours before sunset
  • Bring a lightweight scarf or neck tube to protect against sand and wind, which can pick up as the sun sets
  • Request a camel suited to your experience level; guides adjust pace for first-time riders
  • Download offline maps if you want to identify dune formations—the vastness can feel disorienting

Good to know

  • Duration is 2 hours 30 minutes total, including camel ride and sunset time
  • Experience is private, meaning your own guide and camel(s)
  • Sandboarding is optional and not included in the core ride
  • Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and sturdy closed-toe shoes or sandals with ankle support
  • Bring a camera or phone with sufficient battery; the desert offers minimal charging options
