morocco camel trek: Rose Valley Dunes and Draa

Morocco camel trek

We are so happy to recieve you here , we are the expert of Morccain desert
A visit to the Sahara desert is a very amazing experience everyone should have at least once in life. It is a trip well worth the effort and you will have fond many memories to last you for yout hole life. Imagine yourself on top of a camel, trekking through the Sahara desert. There is nothing around you except your partners on the trip and all you can hear are the footsteps of your camel on the soft sand. You’ll find your self in front of a vast sky clear in the day and filled with millions of bright stars at night. It is a very lovely experience, that you’ll never forget.
One of the best and famous places on moroccain deser is the dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga is 30 miles (50km) south east of Erfoud and has the highest and most spectacular sand dunes in Morocco. These golden dunes is 50m from the desert floor. Its on a line almost perfectly north/south to the village of Merzouga and beyond, and mark the western fringe of the Sahara Desert, in limit of Algerian desert .

Erg Chigaga (Erg Chegaga) near M'hamid is in the south of Morocco ,is another favulous place to visit its situated over the Atlas Mountains and pass Zagora. Erg Chigaga is also part of the moroccain Sahara desert and more difficult to get to than Erg Chebbi usually go there using 4X4 .

What we trying to to introduce here is this ocean of pure Saharian sand, gives the back drop to an authentic Arabian adventure which allow a camel trek across the dunes to a secluded oasis, where an authentic spicy Berber tagine is being prepared over an open fire by Bedouin tents or what we almost call Nomade tents.

We will give a chance to explore this magnificent desert landscape - if you're feeling strong you can climb the dunes for sunrise or sunset to watch the light and colour of the sands change. As the stars come out you can clearly hear the rhythmic beat of tribal drumming carried on the still night.

Camel trekking may not be the most comfortable means of travelling for some, but it is undoubtedly a good experience for every traveller as a way to experience the mode of transport of the nomads of the Sahara.

There are manay possibilities of camel treks (méharrées), offered by Camel Trekking, starting from a day's or two days to two-week expedition. For information the best time of year for camel trekking is September to February.

Camel Trekking is run and organized by one of our partner . He can help organize your trip to the desert and answearing any kind of your questions , also it’s there to make your journey of camel trekking a success story .
