What Our Guests Say:

Even Better Than We Imagined!”

“The 2-night camel trek gave us more time to truly feel the rhythm of the desert. We explored deeper into the dunes, visited a nomad family, and enjoyed two magical nights under the stars.

The silence, the sunsets, the campfire music—it was all unforgettable. The team took great care of us, and the food was incredible. If you have time, go for the 2 nights—it’s 100% worth it.”

— Jonas P., Germany (TripAdvisor, February 2025)

Two Nights of Pure Desert Bliss”

“Spending two nights in the Sahara was the best decision we made. The pace was relaxed, the extra day allowed us to explore further into the dunes, and the guides shared stories about the desert and their culture.
Both nights were magical—especially the Berber music around the fire and the sunrise on the second morning. Don’t settle for just one night—two is the real experience!”

— Nour Z., Canada (Google Reviews, January 2025)

Peaceful, Beautiful, and So Authentic”

“We wanted something more than just a quick camel ride, and this 2-night trek was perfect. The team at Merzouga Tours made us feel welcome from the first minute. The camps were clean, food was fresh and tasty, and the night skies were unreal.

It felt like we disconnected from the world and connected with something timeless.”
