Book a Camel Trek
Venture into the Sahara on an overnight camel trek from Zagora, M’Hamid, or Merzouga is one of the best things to do in Morocco. You can't leave without taking a camel and heading off into the sand dunes. Camel rides range from a one- to two-hour ride over the crescents to a fifteen-night expedition deep into the desert. Most people stay at a camp where they can enjoy the clearest of night skies and sunrise the next day. It is advisable to bring extra clothes and a sleeping bag as nights can get very cold. A camel ride through the palm groves of the Oasis Palmeraie is a private tour.
You can explore the villages of the Palmeraie and try local tea.
You can’t visit Morocco without visiting the desert, and one of the most impressive stretches of sand you can explore is found at Merzouga. The jumping-off point for Erg Chebbi is this desert town. Take a Merzouga Sahara Desert tour by camel trek, spend the night under the stars, or go on an ATV adventure through the desert sands of Merzouga, one of the best things to do in Morocco. Because this part of the country is the Sahara with the most spectacular sand dunes. The dunes of Merzouga, the so-called Erg Chebbi dunes, can be up to 180 meters high here. The high-quality way to experience this breathtakingly stunning scenery is at the back of a camel.
