After lunch, our route continues through captivating landscapes of lush forests, natural springs, dramatic rock formations, and traditional Berber villages, as we gradually descend towards the vast expanse of the Sahara. We incorporate several stops for comfort and photography, capturing the grandeur of expansive palm oases. Anticipate your arrival in Merzouga around the late afternoon where your experienced local guide and camels will be awaiting. Following a brief respite, embark on an iconic camel trek across the mesmerizing golden dunes of Erg Chebbi witnessing a spectacular Saharan sunset.
