Sunset Camel Ride on the Erg Chebbi Dunes – €20 per Person
Enjoy a peaceful evening in the desert with a camel ride in Merzouga and watch the sunset from the top of the Erg Chebbi dunes. As the afternoon gets cooler, leave the village behind and ride through the golden sand with a local camel guide. It is a simple way to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Sahara.
The ride takes you through the dunes as the sunlight begins to soften. Along the way, you can stop at a good viewpoint, take photos, and watch the sand change from bright gold to warm orange as the sun moves toward the horizon.
Once you reach the perfect spot, settle in and enjoy the sunset over the Merzouga desert. The quiet surroundings, wide open views, and changing colors create a memorable moment in the Sahara. After sunset, continue your camel ride back through the dunes or toward your desert camp.

What should I know before booking?
The camel ride usually starts in the afternoon so you can reach the dunes before sunset.
Before leaving, wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, and bring sunglasses and sunscreen.
During the ride, follow your camel guide’s instructions and take your time while crossing the dunes.
Bring a jacket or warm layer, as the desert can become cooler soon after sunset.
Bring your camera and enjoy the changing colors of the Erg Chebbi dunes.
